Product Overview

This hardware manual briefly introduces the EonStor S12S-G1033
SAS to Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) RAID subsystem. The 12-bay
model comes with two (2) SAS host channels and supports twelve
(12) hot-swappable SAS or SATA II hard drives in an 2U chassis. The
core of the subsystem is the RAID controller module boosted by the
ASIC400 RAID engine.
By default, each RAID
controller comes with a
pre-installed 512MB
DDR RAM DIMM module.

Each SAS channel is
capable of a 1200MB/s bandwidth; therefore a total of 2400MB/s
bandwidth is available for the subsystem. With a passive backplane,
redundant hot-swappable component design, and the sophisticated
firmware, the subsystem is ideal for high availability applications.
The enclosure is designed to contain twelve (12) 3.5-inch disk drives.
Drive capacity can be expanded by attaching the maximum of four (4)
2U-profile drive enclosures with the addition of 48 more disk drives.
Three (3) cooling modules protect the subsystem from overheating,
and two (2) hot-swappable power supply unit (PSU) modules provide
constant power to the subsystem. The modular nature of the
subsystem and the easy accessibility to all major components ensure
the ease of maintenance.
