7 Connect SAS Cables
Plug the ES60 power cords into power outlets.
Wait two minutes for the drives to start.
The ES60 is compatible
with several TrueNAS systems. Typical SAS cable connections for connecting one or two ES60 units to TrueNAS High
Availability (HA) systems are shown here.
7.1 X-Series
To set up SAS between your TrueNAS system and Expansion Shelves, cable the first port on the first TrueNAS
Controller to the first port on the first Expansion Shelf Controller. High Availability systems require another cable
from the first port on the second TrueNAS Controller to the first port on the second Expansion Shelf Controller.
We
DO NOT
recommend other cabling configurations. Contact iX Support if you need other cabling methods.
Warning: When setting up your SAS connections, please adhere to the wiring examples in this guide.
Connecting expansion shelves incorrectly will cause errors. Never cable a single controller to different
expanders on the same expansion shelf.
