Connecting the controller and the shelves
You can connect the AltaVault AVA400 to up to three shelves and the AVA800 model can connect to up to four shelves.
The AltaVault controller and AVA10S disk shelves connect using a cable that contains a Mini-SAS cable connector on
one end (below) and a QSFP cable connector on the other end. Each connector connects a Mini-SAS cable connector
to a Mini-SAS HD port located on a RAID controllers on the back of the AltaVault appliance. The QSFP cable
connector at the other end of the cable connects to one of the QSFP ports on the back of an AVA10S shelf.
Note:
AltaVault systems have a unique cabling configuration; you must cable the system in the supported configuration for optimal
system performance.
