If your Silent Brick System consists of multiple controllers and Shelves (e.g., one controller and one Shelf), you must first perform the following steps:
-
➤ Establish the internal network connection between the controller and the Shelf.
-
➤ Use connectors (19) for controller communication and connectors (18) for Shelf communication.
-
➤ Establish the SAS connection using the SAS connectors (17).
If your Silent Brick System consists of a single device, or if you have already connected multiple devices, proceed as follows:
-
➤ For a Silent Brick Controller G5000 Rev. 1, connect the Ethernet loop cable to link the controller with its internal Bricks.
-
➤ For a Silent Brick Controller G5000 Rev. 2, connect the Ethernet loop cable and the SAS loop cable to link the controller with its internal Bricks.
-
➤ For a Silent Brick Controller G5200, connect the Ethernet loop cable and both SAS loop cables to link the controller with its internal Bricks.
-
➤ Use connectors (19) for controller communication and 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 ports (21) for this purpose.
-
➤ Connect the device to the power supply network.
-
➤ Use the connectors on the power supplies (16) for this purpose. If possible, connect each power supply to a separate electrical circuit.
