System Basics Introduction
provided by the clip-on device. In addition to inventory management, 7210 SAS supports
Provisioning of cards inserted into the slots available on the 1830 devices. The user must provision
the card and card-type (also known as, module type) before the card can be managed by the 7210
SAS. The 7210 SAS detects and reports mismatch in provisioning of the card. It also detects and
reports insertion and removal of the card/module from the slot on the 1830 device.
NOTE: The 7210 SAS also auto detects the device type when any of the supported devices are
connected to the USB interface. Only approved USB mass storage device and optical clip-on
devices can be plugged in to the USB port and are recognized as valid devices. All other
unsupported devices results in an error log being printed. A shelf created by the user will be
operationally down when an unrecognized device is plugged into the USB port. The user can
interchange the device connected to the USB port without requiring a reboot. For example, when
the 7210 SAS is operating with a clip-on device; the user can pull out the clip-on device, instead
plug-in a USB mass-storage device to copy over image files or other files, and then plug back a
clip-on device.
