through the "SAS Expansion" port. Please see the figure below for
the physical connections of the JBODs and the subsystem. For the
connection between the RAID and the JBOD, you should use an
SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS cable. As to the connection between
JBODs, you should use SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS cables.
Connecting SAS JBODs with the Subsystem
Enclosure ID Settings:
˙
The configurable IDs start from 1 to 6. Usually the numbering
starts from the one closest to the managing RAID enclosure.
˙
The subsystem can connect to a maximum of six (6) JBODs.
˙
Make sure a unique ID is configured on each JBOD so that the
SAS WWN addresses of disk drives can be properly assigned.
RAID system firmware automatically manages these addresses.
