4.3 Connecting JBODs

A16T3-Share support JBOD expansion, you can expand the capacity via connecting

up to 3 A16S3-SJ JBOD enclosure. Follow the steps below to connect JBODs;

1. Use mini SAS HD cable (equipped in A16S3-SJ accessory package) to connect the

“EXP” port of A16T3-Share and “SAS” port of A16S3-SJ.

2. Set ID dip switch of A16S3-SJ to 1.

Note

If you have three A16S3-SJ JBOD enclosures, set ID as below;

1

st

A16S3-SJ ID =1

2

nd

A16S3-SJ ID =2

3

rd

A16S3-SJ ID =3

If ID conflicted, some drives on JBOD would not recognize.

3. Power on: First to power on all JBOD enclosures, then power on RAID system.

4. Power off: First to power off RAID system, then power off all JBOD enclosures.
