Expander Port Connection
ARC-4038
SAS JBOD enclosure is a device that contains two
expander ports. Expander ports may support being attached to
SAS initiator ports, SAS and/or SATA target ports, and to other
expander ports. The SAS JBOD enclosure can support daisy-chain
how many SAS JBOD enclosures which depend on the host RAID
controller’s or server host adapter’s firmware.
The following figure
shows how to connect the external Min SAS cable from the ARC-
4038 SAS JBOD enclosure to the external connectors on the ARC-
1883x.
Daisy-chains longer than the limitation of subsystems are
not supported even if it may be workable.
