3.4 Connecting SAS JBOD Enclosures and/or RAID with SAS JBOD
1. To connect JBOD enlosure, use mini SAS cable. Insert one end to the SAS
Expansion Port of the NAS, and insert the other end to the SAS In port of the
JBOD enclosure (JBOD#1).
2. If there are other JBOD enclosures to be connected, connect the SAS cable from
the SAS Expansion Port of JBOD #1 to the SAS In Port of the next JBOD
enclosure (JBOD #2). Repeat the process until the last JBOD is connected in
daisy-chain.
3. If a RAID subsystem will be used, connect the SAS cable from the RAID
subsystem’s SAS Host Channel A (or Host Channel B, if needed) to the SAS HBA
Port of the NAS.
4. If a JBOD enclosure will be connected to the RAID subsystem in daisy-chain,
connect the RAID subsystem’s SAS expansion port to the JBOD enclosure’s SAS
In Port (JBOD#1). If there are other JBOD enclosures to be connected, connect
the SAS cable from the SAS Expansion Port of JBOD #1 to the SAS In Port of the
next JBOD enclosure (JBOD #2). Repeat the process until the last JBOD is
connected.
