Special Notes and Warnings Disk Drive LEDs There is no hardware support in the DS2100 for disk drive failure detection or indication by disk drive LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). A failed drive cannot be identified by an LED signal. Only disk spin-up and data access activity is indicated by a green flashing light on a disk drive LED. Disconnected SCSI cables SCSI cables must not be disconnected while both server nodes are up. Cluster failover may not occur upon a SCSI cable being disconnected at a live node. Only disconnect a SCSI cable from a server that is powered off. Also, do not disconnect a SCSI cable interconnecting two DS2100 enclosures on a live cluster because cluster failures may result from the SCSI bus not being terminated. NetRAID-2M channels When connecting the NetRAID-2M SCSI cables to the DS2100, only use NetRAID-2M channel 0. Cluster failure could result and there is a potential for data loss from connections to channel 1 and so channel 1 connections are not supported. 11/15/01 4

For other NICs, any vendor-supported driver.
Special Notes and Warnings
Disk Drive LEDs
There is no hardware support in the DS2100 for disk drive failure detection or
indication by disk drive LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes).
A failed drive cannot be
identified by an LED signal. Only disk spin-up and data access activity is indicated
by a green flashing light on a disk drive LED.
Disconnected SCSI cables
SCSI cables must not be disconnected while both server nodes are up. Cluster
failover may not occur upon a SCSI cable being disconnected at a live node. Only
disconnect a SCSI cable from a server that is powered off.
Also, do not disconnect
a SCSI cable interconnecting two DS2100 enclosures on a live cluster because
cluster failures may result from the SCSI bus not being terminated.
NetRAID-2M channels
When connecting the NetRAID-2M SCSI cables to the DS2100, only use
NetRAID-2M channel 0.
Cluster failure could result and there is a potential for
data loss from connections to channel 1 and so channel 1 connections are not
supported.
