Connect Devices

Note—Confirm with your project administrator if your Lyve Mobile Arrays and Lyve Mobile Link use PCIe or SAS data paths before following the instructions included in this manual.

Step 1 — Data path

PCIe Adapter

Connect a dual SFF-8644 cable to the data port on PCIe Adapter.
Connect the other end of the cable to STORAGE CONNECTION A-B or C-D on Link.

Rackmount Receiver

Connect a single SFF-8644 cable to a SAS port on Rackmount Receiver.
Connect the other end of the cable to STORAGE CONNECTION A or B on Link.

Step 2 — Management path

Important—Only use a direct Ethernet connection for Storage Management. Do not place an Ethernet switch between Link’s Storage Management ports and the Ethernet ports on PCIe Adapter / Rackmount Receiver.

PCIe Adapter

Connect an Ethernet cable to the management port on PCIe Adapter.
Connect the other end of the cable to STORAGE MGMT A or B on Link. Make sure to select the STORAGE MGMT port controlling data to the STORAGE CONNECTION port selected in step 1.

Management port	Data ports
STORAGE MGMT A	STORAGE CONNECTION A-B
STORAGE MGMT B	STORAGE CONNECTION C-D

Rackmount Receiver

Connect an Ethernet cable to a management port on Rackmount Receiver.
Connect the other end of the cable to STORAGE MGMT A or B on Link. Make sure to select the STORAGE MGMT port controlling data to the STORAGE CONNECTION port selected in step 1.

Management port	Data ports
STORAGE MGMT A	STORAGE CONNECTION A
STORAGE MGMT B	STORAGE CONNECTION B

Step 3 — Local network

Note—Network cables are not included with Link.

Connect the appropriate cable to one or more of the following LAN ports on Link:

LAN 1 10GbE (RJ45 supporting 10GbE performance)
LAN 2 100GbE (QSFP56)
LAN 3 100GbE (QSFP56)

Note—All LAN ports can be connected at the same time. However, Link does not support port aggregation.

Connect the other end of the cable to the network switch.

Step 4 — Power

Connect the power supply to Lyve Mobile Link’s power input.
Connect the power cord to the power supply.
Connect the power cord to a live power outlet.

Link will power on once it's connected to a live outlet.

Step 5 — Power on connected Lyve Mobile Arrays
