Figure 20. Input Ports on I/O Controller

Figure 21. SAS Cable Connections to Hosts Example

Use four external SAS cables to connect from your host adapter to the input port on your

DataDirect Networks I/O controller (Figure 20)(Figure 21).

NOTE :

When configuring for a single I/O unit, ensure that the I/O module is

plugged in the left slot (as viewed from the rear of the enclosure).

To connect additional SS2460 enclosures, continue with the next section. Otherwise, skip to

Section 2.6, Powering On.

2.5.2 Connecting Additional SS2460 Enclosures

You can daisy-chain up to five fully loaded SS2460 enclosures to a single host system

depending on the number of drives supported by the SAS HBA.

Enclosures installed with SAS disk drives and enclosures installed with SATA disk drives

can be included in the same daisy-chain.

NOTE :

All SATA disk drives installed in a dual-controller system require the use of a

2:1 SATA MUX assembly.
