Task 4: Making Data Connections

You can configure your VTrak subsystem as:
• Basic Direct Attached Storage (DAS) Connection (below)
• Cascading DAS Connection (page 14)
• Redundant Cascading DAS Connection (page 15)

Basic DAS Connection

To setup a basic DAS connection:
• You must have a SAS HBA card in the Host PC or server.
• Connect the SAS HBA card in the Host PC to the SAS IN port (with the circle
icon) on the VTrak. See Figure 11.
• Use the SFF-8088 4X to 4X external SAS cable supplied with the VTrak.

The diagram above shows the VTrak J630s. A connection with the J830s is
exactly the same.
This completes data and management connections. Go to "Task 5: Setting Up
Serial Cable Connections" on page 17.
