Cabling: Primary Chassis
The primary chassis is delivered with the following cables need for installation:
From the rear of the system, attach the cables as follows:
- Inter-controller communication - Connect the two .3M Cat6e ethernet cables from the bottom Node 1 port 1 to the top Node 2 port 1. Do the same for port 2.
-
Network Switches - Connect the four (4) 2M SFP28 DAC cables to the 10GbE ethernet ports
on switches.
It is important to cable as shown to maximize system performance and enable redundancy.
- Optional SAS cables - If not connecting to Expansion Chassis in your configuration, connect the SAS cables on bottom Node 1 from port 0 to port 1. Repeat for top Node 2.
-
AC Power Cords - Two (2) AC line cords are required per
chassis for redundancy purposes. These are not supplied with the units. Customer must
supply a certified power cord with its country of destination approval marking on the
cable, plug or connector. The AC line cords must support 250V-10A, and be a minimum of
18AWG. The length of the power cord is determined by the customer’s rack space and cable
routing requirements. The unit accepts C13 connector. Use the attached straps to secure
the power cords to the enclosure.
Plug: Represents the male end of the AC line cord which is dependent on the destination country as outlined below.
China, Australia and Argentina plug
These three countries have similar but not equal power cord plugs:
- The power cord for China is certified CCC under GB2099 Standard.
- For Australia / New Zealand the power cord complies with AS / NZS 3112 Standard.
- Argentina power cord conforms to regulations of IRAM 2073 Standard.
Europe and Korea plug
The European continental plug (CEE 7/7 type) is also similar to that for Korea but not equal. The European plug complies with the European Standards that are not recognized in Korea. For the Korean power cord it is mandatory to comply with national rules for that country. Ensure the appropriate power cord for Korea by verifying the KC approval logo is present on the power cord (plug and connector).
Japan 12A 125VAC plug
The Japanese plug and socket, at first glance, look identical to the North American NEMA 5-15 standard. However, the Japanese type, which is specified in JIS 8303 Standard, incorporates tighter dimensional requirements, different marking requirements (PSE) and mandatory testing and approval by the Japanese testing agency.
North America 10-15A plug
The US/Canada/Mexico plug is the same for the three countries (Canada, United States and Mexico) and complies with NEMA 5-15 standard. Approval UL/CSA is mandatory.
