RAID Controller Module Connectors and Features
Figure 1-5 shows a single RAID controller module as it appears from the rear of the enclosure. RAID
controller module connectors and components shown include:
• Up to two SAS In port connectors (second SAS In port is optional)
• Ethernet connector
NOTE:
The RAID controller module network configuration can be assigned using a DHCP server (the default
setting). If a DHCP server is not available (time-out is 10 seconds) then the RAID controller modules uses the
static IP addresses of 192.168.128.101 for controller 0 and 192.168.128.102 for controller 1.
• Nine LEDs (three SAS link, two Ethernet link/speed, Battery Fault, Cache Active, Controller Fault,
and Controller Power)
• One SAS Out port connector (not used)
• Debug port (Dell support only)
For a description of each component on the front panel of the RAID controller module, see Table 1-4.
For an explanation of how to connect the enclosure using the RAID controller module ports, see "Cabling
Your RAID Enclosure" on page 19.
