iSCSI Connections 0 Before connecting the TC2201E to other iSCSI devices, it is important to
understand the configuration requirements of the environment to which it
will be connected. Failure to correctly configure an iSCSI device may impair
the operation of the network to which it is attached.
The iSCSI RJ-45 connectors on the unit can be directly connected to a standard
10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet network.
Typical installations will have the TC2201E connected to an Ethernet switch
or hub. The unit can also be directly attached to the iSCSI host bus adapter, in
a Point-to-Point fashion.

Both Ethernet switches and hubs may allow for individual ports to be
configured for different media types. The TC2201E must be connected to the
hub or switch port with the appropriate Ethernet cabling for both the
TC2201E and the switch port to which it is connected.
To connect the TC2201E to an iSCSI network:
1 Locate the iSCSI ports on the back of the TC2201E.
iSCSI ports
2 With the TC2201E powered off, connect the TC2201E into the iSCSI
environment using the appropriate cabling. Be sure to insert the cable
connectors in the proper orientation.
SCSI Connection 0 The TC2201E can support Fast/Ultra160 Narrow/Wide SCSI, depending on
the specific configuration. The TC2201E is factory configured to support
LVD/Single-Ended buses. Two VHDCI 68-pin D-shell, P-type connectors are
located on the rear panel of the unit, allowing the unit to be attached at the
end of up to two SCSI buses. The TC2201E must always be installed at the end
of SCSI buses.
The TC2201E supplies termination power (TERMPWR) to each SCSI bus. An
internal self-resetting fuse in the TERMPWR will reset after a fault is cleared.

Figure 9 High Density
SCSI Cables
Warning: During attachment of high density SCSI cables, please
note the orientation (as shown in Figure 2-11) of the high
density SCSI port connectors on the back panel of
TC2201E. Failure to maintain appropriate orientation of
the cables to the SCSI port connectors can result in damage
to the SCSI port connectors on the TC2201E.
Caution: Do not plug HVD devices to an LVD/SE bus. Failure to
heed this caution may result in severe damage to
equipment.
Caution: SCSI ports on the TC2201E are not hot-pluggable. Power
off the TC2201E whenever connecting/disconnecting the
SCSI cables.
Any SCSI cables used with the TC2201E series product must meet SCSI 2
standards and must be LVD rated (specifically low noise cabling). The cables
should be rated at 24 Ohm impedance and should have a VHDCI 68pin .8mm
D-shell/P-type to Standard 68pin SCSI D-shell connector at the end being
attached to the TC2201E. The type of connector at the other end of the cable
will be dependent on the device being connected.
Warning: Please be advised that failure to comply with the
minimum high density cable specifications can result in
damage to the TC2201E or an operational failure of the
product.
Note: SE is not supported by SCSI-2 protocols. While it is possible to
mix SE and LVD devices on the same bus, doing so may result
in substantially decreased performance on the bus.

configuration capabilities. The RJ-45 connector on the unit can be directly
connected to a standard 10/100BaseT Ethernet network.
If your network does not have a DHCP server, you will need to manually
configure an IP address via the serial port using the Command Line Interface.
Access to the serial port is described in the next section.
For more information about the IP network address, refer to the Quantum
Virtual Manager section of the Quantum TC2201E User’s Guide PN 81-81447.
Note: For manual configuration of the IP address, the TC2201E’s
default IP address is 1.1.1.1 but this is technically not a valid IP
address. It is recommended that you change the setting to a
valid address.
Ethernet capabilities include Telnet, FTP, and an HTTP (web browser)
support for configuration and management. For more information on
management, see the Quantum TC2201E User’s Guide PN 81-81447.

Setting Up Serial Port Communications
The 3-pin connector on the back panel of the TC2201E provides a serial port
0
that is compatible with RS-232 signaling levels. The TC2201E is designed to
communicate with a terminal or any operating system utilizing a terminal
emulator. The baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and flow control of both
the TC2201E and the host system must use the same settings.
Serial port
Leave the TC2201E turned off until you have set up the serial port
0
communications on your host computer, unless serial I/O was previously
established and is currently running.
The TC2201E is designed to communicate with a terminal or any operating
system utilizing a terminal emulator. For example, Windows 9x, NT 4.0, or
Windows 2000 operating systems can use Hyper terminal. Be sure the baud
rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and flow control are set correctly.
To set up serial communications with the TC2201E:
1 Leave power to the TC2201E turned off until you have set up the serial
port communications on your host terminal.
2 Plug the serial cable into one of the host computer’s serial ports (COM1 or
COM2), and then plug the other end of the serial cable into the TC2201E’s
serial port
.
Note: A 3-pin serial cable is included in the shipping container for
the TC2201E.

Control:
Note: Before initially powering on the TC2201E, make sure all the
storage devices are powered on first and that they have
finished performing their self tests. This will help ensure that
device discovery works correctly.
6 Proceed to the following instructions on connecting the power to the
TC2201E.
The power supply used with the TC2201E supports 100 - 240 VAC (Auto
0
Sensing), but the correct type of power cable needed for your installation
should still be verified. The power cable shipped with the TC2201E is a 120
VAC 3-conductor power cable for use in the United States and Canada. This
is the power cable that should be used with the TC2201E unless your
installation requires otherwise, in which case you should supply the
appropriate power cable as needed.
To connect the power cable to the TC2201E:
1 Connect the female end of the power cable to the power connector on the
back panel of the TC2201E.
2 Plug the male end of the power cable into the power source.
3 Switch on power to the TC2201E using the Power Switch located on the
back panel of the TC2201E.
If accessing the serial port, once you set the baud rate in the terminal
emulator, wait until the TC2201E completes the Power-On Self Test
(POST) and then the Firmware Initialization process. This can take up to
90 seconds, during which time the POST and initialization
information may or may not be visible on the terminal or terminal
emulator.
Connecting the TC2201E 13
Quantum TC2201E Installation Instructions

The baud rate used by the terminal or terminal emulator must be 9600,
19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200. The TC2201E will not function properly at
any other baud rate.
Once the POST and firmware initiation processes are complete, the main
menu should be accessible over the serial port. Optionally, the main
menu can also be accessed over the Ethernet port as described in the next
Chapter of this manual.
