4-port 12Gb SAS backend I/O module
Where supported, the 4-port 12Gb SAS backend I/O module comes with four x4 lane
mini-SAS high density (HD) ports, one power and fault LED, and a combination link
and activity LED for each port. Install thisI/O module into the SP assembly to provide
additional SAS buses. Labeled 12Gb SAS v1.
Note
The optional back-end 12-Gb/s SAS module is only supported on Unity 480F, Unity
680F, and Unity 880F systems.
The 4-port 12Gb SAS backend I/O module can also be configured to support x8 lane
cabling for the 80-drive DAE by combining ports 0 and 1 as back-end 2, or ports 2 and
3 to create back-end 4. The I/O module can also be configured to support both x4 lane
and x8 lane back-ends simultaneously.
Note
If the 4-port 12Gb SAS backend I/O module is to be configured for x8 lane cabling, the
x8 lane cable must be inserted into the I/O module before persisting it. If the x8 lane
cables are not inserted into the I/O module first, all four ports default to x4 lane ports.
NOTICE
The power supply used in your system must meet the system power requirements and
must be the same type of power supply to be used in both nodes. Do not mix power
supply types.
