DuraStor 412R/6320SS/7320SS Installation and User's Guide At power-on, the SEPs read the SCSI switch settings and configure the system for the appropriate addresses. The SEPs execute firmware from the onboard flash memory and perform a POST. The firmware is flash upgradeable using the SAF-TE RS-232 service port located below the I/O card slots at the rear of the storage subsystem. The firmware also contains the necessary functions for storage subsystem management. The SAF-TE disk I/O card has two 68-pin VHD/CI SCSI connectors that provide the connectivity from the primary storage subsystem to the disk drives in the daisy-chained DuraStor storage subsystems. The connectors are labeled Channel 1 and Channel 2. The following bus modes are possible: I In JBOD dual-bus mode, the Channel 1 connector provides SCSI bus access to the disk drives in slots 7 through 12, and the Channel 2 connector provides access to the drives in slots 1 through 6. Termination is automatic and provided internally on the drive mid-plane circuit board. I In JBOD single-bus mode, the Channel 1 connector provides SCSI bus access to all the disk drive slots, 1 through 12, and the Channel 2 connector provides the automatic SCSI bus termination. I In a daisy-chain configuration, you will be required to make changes to the jumper settings in the last enclosure's SAF-TE disk I/O card in that daisy-chain. In each of the supported configurations, all DuraStor 412R enclosures appear at the end of the daisy chains. Therefore, all daisy-chained DuraStor 412R enclosures must have jumpers installed on JP7 and JP8. Note: Only the channel for each connection requires a jumper. However, for best convenience in light of the fact that the SAF-TE Disk I/O card is not hot swappable, set both jumpers at the same time. These jumpers allow the automatic termination to function properly. For each channel used, install a jumper on JP8 for Channel 1 and JP7 for Channel 2. By default, the jumper is left hanging on one pin, or unjumpered. 5-18
