Enabling SAS2 Functionality
External SAS2 ports are not supported. Only the internal SAS2 links with appropriate REM
■
and storage modules are supported. See
more information.
In NEBS environments, only optical links to QSFP ports of this NEM are supported. Using
■
optical links ensures that NEBS thermal limits are met.
Enabling SAS2 Functionality
If you plan to install this NEM with SAS2 enabled into a chassis that contains SAS1
components, you must upgrade the Sun Blade 6000 disk module firmware of your
SAS1 components. See

Important Firmware Upgrade Before Mixing SAS1
and SAS2 Components
You must upgrade the Sun Blade 6000 Disk Module firmware of your SAS1 components
(SAS1 NEMs and disk modules) to a firmware version that supports SAS1 and SAS2
coexistence. This upgrade must be done before you insert a SAS2 component such as this NEM
into the chassis.
Refer to the SAS1/SAS2 Compatibility Upgrade Guide and NEM software release links for
details on which devices require the upgrade, how to obtain the firmware, and how to perform
the upgrade.
