4.7 Ethernet Cables. You must choose your Ethernet cable carefully depending upon

your configuration. If you are connecting your iSCSI Bridge directly to a

management computer, a crossover cable is necessary. If you are connecting

through an Ethernet switch or router, a straight-through cable will suffice. The

type of cable used is equally important (see Table 2 below). Note that if you are

connecting the iSCSI Bridge to an Ethernet device that is 1000 Mb/s capable, you

can use either a crossover or straight through wire cable.

4.8 Connecting to the Ethernet Network. Simply connect your iSCSI Bridge to your

management computer, switch, router or gateway. For further Ethernet

configuration instruction, refer to section 4.11.

4.9 Power On Sequence. Now that you have connected all components of your

iSCSI to SCSI system, it is time to power up the devices.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE POWER UP SEQUENCE BELOW!:

4.9.1 Turn on your SCSI targets and wait for them to be ready.

4.9.2 Apply power to the iS5xx iSCSI Bridge. The iS520 (Stand-Alone Box

Version) unit comes with a power adapter with a lockable connecter to the

iS5xx iSCSI Bridge.

4.9.3 Wait until the Status LED on the bridge turns solid green. The iS5xx

iSCSI Bridge will automatically discover all SCSI targets on the bus. If

there are no SCSI targets connected, the “SCSI” LED will constantly

pulse. In this case, make sure the targets are powered on, the SCSI cables

are connected and the termination is properly placed.

4.9.4 Your SCSI targets are now accessible to your iSCSI network!!!

4.9.5 You may now configure your iSCSI system through its Web-based Utility

using a web browser (see section 4.11).
