Technical Specifications
Single SATA
A single enclosure has one I/O module, either FS4100 or FS4500. A
single enclosure can be connected to one or two hosts.
Dual SATA
A dual enclosure has two FS4100 or two FS4500 I/O modules, and
connects to from one to four hosts. Dual SATA provides a
redundant controller and better utilization of the available FC front
end bandwidth. The redundant controller provides data access
from more hosts and added security of a second controller for data
access.
Note:
Including an FS4100 and an FS4500 together in the same
enclosure is not supported.
Daisy Chaining Adaptec SATA Enclosures
