4.4.4 Expansion

Links

A redundant-controller RAID enclosure connects to a maximum of two (2) 16

drive SAS expansion enclosures which house either SAS or SATA disk drives.

SAS link cables are provided with the expansion enclosures.

A unique enclosure ID should be individually configured for each expansion

enclosure using the rotary ID switch on its LED panel.
