Expansion Enclosure Connections
A SAS host link cable is included per expansion enclosure. If you need to purchase
other cables or if you need other cable(s) of different length, please contact with your
vendor.
WARNING
All SAS cables are sensitive and must be handled with care. To prevent interference
within a rack system, the cable routing path must be carefully planned and the cables
must not be bent.
Please contact with your vendor for a list of compatible components.
SAS Expansion Enclosure Configuration
The SAS expansion port is used for connecting to the expansion enclosures.
There is a rotary ID switch on every expansion enclosure
that is manually configured using a flat blade screwdriver.
Configuring enclosure IDs:
The configurable IDs for expansion enclosures are from 1 to 15. Usually the
numbering starts from the one closest to the managing system.
Make sure a unique ID is configured on each expansion enclosure so that the SAS
WWN addresses of disk drives can be properly assigned. The system firmware will
automatically manage these addresses.
