Page 37: Installation
Installation Exos 7E8 disk drive installation is a plug-and-play process. There are no jumpers, switches, or terminators on the drive. SAS drives are designed to be used in a host system that provides a SAS-compatible backplane with bays designed to accommodate the drive. In such systems, the host system typically provides a carrier or tray into which users need to mount the drive.

Invalid logical unit Dual port support Exos 7E8 SAS drives have two independent ports. These ports may be connected in the same or different SCSI domains. Each drive port has a unique SAS address. The two ports have the capability of independent port clocking (e.g. both ports can run at 12Gb/s or the first port can run at 6Gb/s while the second port runs at 3Gb/s.) The supported link rates are 3.0, 6.0, or 12.0 Gb/s.
