SA-J5300-DAS-40T

Security Analytics appliances that have two RAID controllers can support up to three storage 
modules per RAID controller. Attach the storage modules to the head unit in the order shown 
below, using SAS-3 to SAS-3 cables:

Extend the rail to the front post and insert the studs into the corresponding mounting posts.

a. 

Use the rail screws to anchor the rail to the 
front post.

b. 

After verifying that the rails are aligned, 
secure, and stable, place the enclosure on 
the rails.

c. 

Insert the screws through the mounting holes 
on either side of the enclosure and then 
secure them with the cage nuts.

d. 

Replace the drives in the enclosure.

Two sets of cables are included with the J5300: one set for a SAS-3 environment and another for a 
mixed SAS-2 and SAS-3 environment.

Orient each rail so that the L-shaped shelf is at the bottom and toward the front of the rack.

a. 

Press the spring lock on the other end of the 
rail, insert the studs into the holes on the 
rear post, and release the lock so that it grips 
the rail.

b. 

Use the rail screws to anchor the rail to the 
rear post.

Unpack the shipment container and verify the contents of the box. Security Analytics J5300 40T 
Direct-Attached Storage ships with the following components:

Before installing the J5300 enclosure in the rack, perform these steps:

a. 

Peel off the protective plastic sheet from the top and the bottom of the enclosure.

b. 

Remove the drives from the enclosure to reduce the weight:

 

o

Press the release button on each drive to 
unlock the drive carrier. The drive-carrier 
handle swings out.

 

o

Grasp the handle and gently pull the 
drive carrier out of the J5300 and place it 
on a static-free surface.

To install the J5300 enclosure into a rack with the supplied mounting rails: 

a. 

Determine where to install the enclosure—Three holes are required for the rear posts and five 
for the front. 

b. 

For square holes, insert a cage nut into the top mounting hole of the front posts.

CAUTION: 

Adding storage modules is a destructive process, because all of the capture and 

indexing drive arrays must be reconfigured. Do not begin to add new storage to an existing 
system until after you have backed up all capture and indexing data.
