2.3 I/O Module Configurations
2.3.1 Controller Options
The StorageScaler 6000 has a standard SAS JBOD IO controller, which employs a 36-port expander with
zoning. The zoning is implemented via a preset piano-switch located on the enclosure baseboard. Host
ports 1 and 2 present drives 1 through 30 and host ports 3 and 4 present drives 31 through 60. Each host
port responds with drive information applicable only to the drives presented on the respective zone and
enclosure status information for the entire enclosure.
