Basic Configuration – DuraStor 412R
The DuraStor 412R can be set up as a single-bus or dual-bus JBOD
(Just a Bunch Of Disks) configuration using a single enclosure,
which provides a storage solution with up to 12 disk drives.
To set up the storage subsystem as a single-bus, you need to install
the single-bus module, which is available as a separate item from
Adaptec. Visit
www.adaptec.com
for ordering information.
In single-bus mode, channel 1 on the SAF-TE disk I/O card
assesses every disk drive (drives 1 through 12). In this mode, a
single-bus module (see
) must be installed in the controller
1 slot. This module joins channel 1 and channel 2 together to create
a single, continuous SCSI bus.
