Hi Sunhelpers,
I have received a new Storedge A1000 disk array. It is to be plugged =
onto a Netra T1405 Server which has two PCI Differential SCSI cards =
installed.
There are four 68-pin connectors on the T1405 (in two diff SCSI cards) =
and four 68-pin connectors on the A1000.
I know only one of the controllers in the T1405 is to be used to control =
the A1000, the other is for a tape library.
So my dilemma is;
two ports on the T1405,
four ports on the A1000,
which ports on the A1000 are cabled and which terminated?

The installation guide doesn't specifically mention it, but from what I =
can tell the two 'outer' ports on the A1000 connect to the two ports on =
the T1405 and the two 'inner' ports are terminated.

Can anyone confirm/deny this?

Regards
Simon Marko
