Storage Subsystem for SGI IRIX
Quick Setup Guide
AA–RFBHA–TE 387398-001

2Quick Setup Guide
In this Quick Setup Guide we tell you how to create an
initial hardware configuration for both the Compaq
StorageWorks RAID Array 8000 Fibre Channel Storage
Subsystem and the Compaq StorageWorks Enterprise
Storage Array 12000 Fibre Channel Storage Subsystem
(the “RA8000/ESA12000 storage subsystem” or the
“storage subsystem”).
To create this configuration you will:
• Install Storage Building Blocks (SBBs) and Program
Cards in the RA8000/ESA12000 storage subsystem
cabinet;
• Install a fibre channel adapter in the server;
• Connect the fibre channel adapter to the storage
subsystem HSG80 controller via a fibre channel hub;
• Connect the StorageWorks Command Console
(SWCC) client PC to the HSG80 controller to act as
a maintenance terminal;
• Turn on the ac power to the storage subsystem;
• Install StorageWorks Software on the SGI server.
EK–SMCPR–UG. A01 (387404-001) for information
about selecting a location.
The instructions for installing and connecting storage
subsystem components are given for the SW370
pedestal, but apply equally to other Compaq cabinet
options.Depending on the storage subsystem you have
ordered, you might have to install the storage subsystem
in a cabinet and connect the cache module to a cache
battery. Refer to the User’s Guide for more information.
NOTE
You can find complete instructions for unpacking and
installing the RA8000/ESA12000 storage subsystem in
the User’s Guide and in the RA8000/ESA12000 HSG80

• Connect one end of the SGI Media Interface Adapter
(X–F–OE–KIT) to the SGI fibre channel host adapter;
connect the other end to the fibre channel hub.
• Connect one end of a fibre channel cable to host port
1 on the HSG80 controller; connect the other end to
the fibre channel hub.
Be sure to install a GBIC–SW module on the hub
end of each cable.
