Promise Technology SANLink Guía De Inicio Rápida

Step 1: Connect SANLink to your Mac
Cautions
• Connect the SANLink to one Mac system only.
• Do not place objects on top of the SANLink.
Important
Before you connect the SANLink to your Mac, run Software
Update. Your Mac must have ONE of these updates:
• Mac OS X 10.6.8 with Thunderbolt Software Update 1.0
• Mac OS X 10.7 with Thunderbolt Software Update 1.0
Note
For host connectivity, SANLink requires:
• Thunderbolt cable
• SFP transceiver (check the compatibility list)
These items are sold separately.
Connect a Thunderbolt cable from a Thunderbolt port on the SANLink to the
Thunderbolt port on your MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, or Mac mini.

SANLink supports daisy-chaining to additional Thunderbolt devices.
Plug the low-voltage cable from the power supply into the power connector
on the SANLink. Plug the high-voltage cable into the power supply and an
electrical outlet. See Figure 1.
Step 2: Connect to Fibre Channel
Option 1. Direct Attached Storage
Connect a Fibre Channel (FC) cable from an FC port on the SANLink to an
FC port on your VTrak RAID subsystem.
If your VTrak has dual RAID controllers, connect a second FC cable from
the other FC port on the SANLink to an FC port on the other RAID controller.

Option 2. Storage Area Network
Connect a Fibre Channel (FC) cable from an FC port on the SANLink to one
of the FC ports on your FC switch.
If your SAN has two FC switches, attach a second FC cable from the
other FC port on the SANLink to the second FC switch.
Make the remaining FC SAN connections as described in the user manuals
for your FC switch and RAID subsystems.
