Wiring the Silent Brick Controller G-Series

If your Silent Brick System consists of multiple controllers and shelves (e.g., one controller and one shelf), you must first perform the following actions:

• ➤ Establish the internal network connection between the controller and the shelf.

• ➤ For this, use the connectors (19) for controller communication and the connectors (18) for shelf communication.

• ➤ Establish the SAS connection. For this, use the SAS connectors (17).

If your Silent Brick System consists of a single device, or if you have already connected multiple devices together, proceed as follows:

• ➤ Connect the Ethernet Loop Cable to a Silent Brick Controller G5000 Rev. 1 to link the controller with its internal bricks.

• ➤ Connect the Ethernet Loop Cable and the SAS Loop Cable to a Silent Brick Controller G5000 Rev. 2 to link the controller with its internal bricks.

• ➤ Connect the Ethernet Loop Cable and both SAS Loop Cables to a Silent Brick Controller G5200 to link the controller with its internal bricks.

• ➤ For this, use the connectors (19) for controller communication and the connectors (18) for shelf communication.

• ➤ Connect the device to the management network (optional).

  • ➤ Use the management ports (20) for this purpose.

• ➤ Connect the device to the data/management network.

• ➤ Use the data connections (21) for this purpose.

• ➤ Connect the device to the power supply.

• ➤ Use the connections on the power supplies (16) for this purpose. If possible, connect each power supply to a separate circuit.
