2. In a dual-controller configuration and when the onboard hub is
disabled, the SFP port on the right-hand side is managed by
controller A, and that on the left-hand side by controller B.
Respectively, in a dual-controller configuration, a RAID array
managed by controller A is accessed through the A ports. One that
managed by controller B is accessed through the B ports.
A RAID array’s ownership is determined by whether it is
associated with controller A IDs or controller B IDs.
3. CH2 and CH3 are drive extension channels by factory default. CH4
and CH5 can be manually configured as drive channels via
firmware’s configuration utility.
Use data paths from different drive channels to form a dual-loop
across expansion SBODs.
Infortrend’s F16F-J4000-R/S SBOD series is ideal for capacity
expansion over 4Gb/s Fibre Channel links and supports in-band
SES enclosure service.
4. CH2 and CH3 ports are actually the extension points of the dual-
loop across the sixteen drives within chassis.
