Description
The steps below explain the disk addressing and cabling for the Sun StorEdge[TM] D1000 array only.

Steps to Follow
Cabling the Sun StorEdge D1000 Array
The D1000 68-pin connectors, are Differential Ultra SCSI connections, which are supported to -

     Sbus Differential Ultra/Wide SCSI Host Adapter(UDWIS/S)(HVD)(X1065A),
PCI Dual Differential Ultra/Wide SCSI(UDWIS/P)(HVD)(X6541A) and

     Compact PCI Dual Differential Ultra/Wide SCSI(UDWIS/cPCI)(HVD)(X6749A)

The D1000 is available in 2 models; an 8 drive or 12 drive system.
It has the capability of using all 8 or 12 drives on one host, or it can be divided
into 2 backplanes, each using 4 or 6 drives, depending on which model you have
on each host. You can now dual host the D1000 with Sun[TM] Cluster
software 2.1, 2.2 or 3.0.
On the rear of the D1000 there are (4) 68 pin scsi connectors.
If connecting all 8 or 12 drives to one system, connect the SCSI cable from the host,
to the far left or the far right connector. On the other far right or left 68-pin
connection, connect a differential terminator(Part Number 150-1890). The 2 inside
connections, will need to be connected to each other, using the small SCSI cable that
came with the D1000(Part number 530-1883).
If you will be using the D1000 as 2 backplanes of 4 or 6 drives each, you will need
to connect HOST-A to the far left 68 pin connector. Then connect HOST-B to the far
right 68-pin connector. Then, the 2 inside 68-pin connectors each need to have a
differential terminator(part number 150-1890) connected.

The D1000 can be dual hosted, but ONLY with Sun[TM] Cluster software installed. 
To install the hardware you will need to connect HOST-A to the far left 68-pin
connector. Then connect HOST-B to the far right 68-pin connector. The 2 inside connections,
should be connected to each other, using the small SCSI cable that came with the D1000
(Part number 530-1883).

Setting the Target Address

You can change the address of the drives, by changing the dipswitch settings on SW1.
SWITCH  DIP SETTING     DESCRIPTION
------  ---     -------         -----------
SW1    1        UP*    Addresses 4 right drives to 8 - 11 or 8 - 13
SW1    1       DOWN   Addresses 4 right  drives to 0 - 3 or 0 - 5
SW1    2        UP    Addresses 4 left drives to 8 - 11 or 8 - 13
SW1    2       DOWN*  Addresses 4 left  drives to 0 - 3 or 0 - 5
SW1    3        UP    Wait for a start unit command
SW1    3       DOWN*  Uses the SW1 dip 4 settings
SW1    4        UP*   Delay each drive 12 sec X the drive id
SW1    4       DOWN   Start all drives on power on
SW1    5      UP/DOWN Reserved for future use on the D1000

* denotes default settings.

NOTE:  Be careful in setting the switches, that there is no
       conflict in the target address, when using all drives
       on a single host.
