West Sacramento, 95606

Power up/down instructions

RAID configuration
Each enclosure is configured as a 11-drive RAID5 array with 1 hot-spare drive. All 5 enclosures are then combined to form 1 LUN. This basically means all the storage on the RAID will be represented as one large drive.
Cable connections
Page 2 of the E5402E quick start guide show how to connect to the host (Single HBA), and how to daisy chain the expansion enclosures to the RAID enclosure.
