Chapter 1 - Getting Started

Host SCSI I/O Card

WARNING:

The Host SCSI I/O card is NOT HOT SWAPPABLE. You must POWER

DOWN the enclosure prior to removing or installing this card.

The Host SCSI I/O card is installed to provide the Channel 0 and Channel 3 SCSI

drive ports. These two drive channels are used for drive channel expansion

providing the connection to the NexStor 4000S JBOD enclosure(s).

NOTE:

The SAF-TE Disk I/O card provides Channels 1 and 2 SCSI drive ports.

Host SCSI I/O Card

The Host SCSI I/O cards are configured with automatic termination and do not

require any external terminators. Jumpers on the card are provided to configure

Term Power and Termination, however their settings do not require any changes

for the RAID enclosure. The default settings are: JP1 and JP2 unjumpered or

offset, and JP3 and JP4 installed on both pins.
