SAS JBOD Expansion
This arrangement requires:
• One (1) or more VessJBOD expansion subsystems
• One (1) SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS cable for each VessJBOD expansion
subsystem
Configuring the Data Path
All 16-bay and 12-bay VessRAID subsystems have one (1) SFF-8088 SAS
Expansion Port connector.
To expand the data path:
1. Attach one end of a SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS cable to the SAS
Expansion Port on the VessRAID subsystem.
See page 28, Figure 23.
2. Attach the other end of the SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS cable to the SAS IN
Port on the VessJBOD subsystem.
If you have another VessJBOD subsystem, attach one end of the SFF-8088
to SFF-8088 SAS cable to the SAS OUT Port of the first VessJBOD to the
SAS IN Port of the second VessJBOD.
Configuring a Management Path
The VessRAID controller manages the VessJBOD subsystems. No additional
management connections are required for JBOD expansion.
VessJBOD subsystems have one SAS IN port and one SAS OUT
port. If you connect them incorrectly, the VessRAID does not
recognize the VessJBOD subsystems.
For more information, see the VessJBOD Product Manual on the
CD that came with the VessJBOD subsystem.
