Daisy-Chain JBOD Enclosures
Single Bus Dual-Loop Mode
The IRF-BOD enclosure is used as the daisy-chain enclosures to expand the
number of drives available to the imageRAID systems up to the limit of 96 disk
drives. The JBOD enclosure is configured as a Single Bus Dual-Loop system, where
the drive plane is a continuous 12 (twelve) drive single bus dual-loop FC-AL
configuration. The jumper, (JP3) on the Disk I/O card, should be offset (default
position) or installed on one pin only which enables this option. When enabled,
it also activates the internal hubs and provides the continuous FC loop.
