Expansion Arrays
Chapter 4 Storage Configuration and Expansion

SANbloc S50s can be connected to a Snap Server 520, 550, 650, or 18000. Up to three
SANbloc S50s can be connected to a Snap Server 4500.
Note
Specific configurations are recommended when SAS and SATA drives are
combined in the same expansion array. Be sure to review the S50 Quick Start Guide
before configuring a mixed-drive array.
A SANbloc S50 expansion array is accessed and managed through the Snap Server
to which it is connected. The expansion array has no physical connection to the
network. After the SANbloc S50 is installed and powered on (see the quick start
guide for details), the array’s disk drives appear as unassigned drives, allowing the
administrator to configure RAIDs as necessary.
Preparing the Snap Server
The Snap Server 550 and 650 ship with a SAS HBA installed for connectivity to
SANbloc S50 expansion arrays. If your server already has a SAS HBA, no further
preparation (other than preparing rack space) is necessary. To connect a SANbloc
S50 to a Snap Server 520, 4500, or 18000, you will need to purchase and install the
SAS HBA, available from an authorized Snap Server reseller.
Note
If you plan to add a SAS HBA to a Snap Server 4500, make sure there is an
available PCI slot.
Managing Expansion Array Storage
The 12 disk drives of the SANbloc S50 are not preconfigured, but are shipped as
unassigned disk drives, allowing administrators to configure the array as
appropriate.
