Drive Enclosures for a SuperTrak RAID Controller
Configuring a Data Path
To establish the data path:
1. Connect the SuperTrak RAID Controller in the Host PC to the SAS IN port
(with a circle icon) on the I/O module of the first VessJBOD. See page 12,
Figure 9.
2. Connect the SAS OUT port (with a diamond icon) of the I/O module of the
first VessJBOD to the SAS IN port (with a circle icon) on the I/O module of
the second VessJBOD.
3. Connect the remaining VessJBOD units in the same manner.
Be sure to connect circle icon to diamond icon and vice versa.
All SAS ports have SFF-8088 connectors.
Configuring a Management Path
The SuperTrak RAID Controller installs in the Host PC, therefore it does not
require a separate network management connection.
You can monitor the VessJBOD subsystems using the WebPAM PRO software
installed on the Host PC.
Direct Management of VessJBOD
A management connection directly to the VessJBOD uses a serial connection to
the Host PC. See pages 13 and 16 for more information.
