Compaq RAID Array 4000 Storage System: Deployment and Configuration 8 Single Server/Single Controller Figure 1. RA4000 Storage System with Single Server/Single Controller Customers deploying a single server or an entirely new storage system with a single server/single controller configuration must: 1. Insert a GBIC into the Fibre Channel Host Adapter. 2. Install the Fibre Channel Host Adapter in the server. 3. Insert a GBIC into the Fibre Channel Storage Hub. Use a GBIC-SW if the connection to the server is 500 meters or less, or a GBIC-LW if the connection to the server is between 500 meters and 10 kilometers. IMPORTANT: Systems deploying GBIC-SW use 50-micron, multi-mode fiber optic cable. Systems deploying GBIC-LW use 9-micron, single-mode fiber optic cable. 4. Connect a Fibre Channel Storage Hub to the Fibre Channel Host Adapter. 5. Insert a GBIC into the array controller at the RA4000. Use a GBIC-SW if the connection to the hub is 500 meters or less, or a GBIC-LW if the connection to the hub is between 500 meters and 10 kilometers. Note: The necessary GBIC and the appropriate fiber optic cable are determined by individual customer needs and system design. 6. Connect the RA4000(s) to the Fibre Channel Storage Hub. Note: In single-server environments, the server can be connected directly to the RA4000. 7. Run the Compaq Options ROMPaq. It is provided on the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD 4.30 or later that is shipped with the Compaq StorageWorks RA4000 and RA4000 Redundant Controller. 0206-0699

Systems deploying GBIC-LW use 9-micron, single-mode fiber optic cable.
4.
Connect a Fibre Channel Storage Hub to the Fibre Channel Host Adapter.
5.
Insert a GBIC into the array controller at the RA4000. Use a GBIC-SW if the connection to
the hub is 500 meters or less, or a GBIC-LW if the connection to the hub is between
500 meters and 10 kilometers.
Note:
The necessary GBIC and the appropriate fiber optic cable are determined by individual
customer needs and system design.
6.
Connect the RA4000(s) to the Fibre Channel Storage Hub.
