1.3 Ultra 2 Host System Power Connection Requirement You can connect a controller module to an Ultra 2 host system; however, you must connect the power cord of the Ultra 2 host to one of the AC power sequencers in the expansion cabinet that contains the controller module. Note – The RAID Manager 6.22 software does not support Ultra 2 host systems. You need to order one of the following power cords depending on the type of power sequencer in the expansion cabinet (FIGURE 1-5): ■ Ultra Enterprise™
