SAS JBOD EXPANSION

This arrangement requires:
• One (1) or more Vess J2600 expansion subsystems
• One (1) SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS cable for each Vess J2600 expansion subsystem

CONFIGURING THE DATA PATH

VessRAID subsystems have one per RAID controller (1) SFF-8088 SAS Expansion Port connector.
To expand the data path:
1. Attach one end of a SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS cable to the SAS Expansion Port on the Vess R2600 subsystem.
See "Figure 20: SAS JBOD expansion data connections".
2. Attach the other end of the SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS cable to the SAS IN Port on the Vess J2600 subsystem.
If you have another Vess J2600 subsystem, attach one end of the SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS cable to the SAS OUT Port of
the first Vess J2600 to the SAS IN Port of the second Vess J2600.
Important
Vess J2600 subsystems have one SAS IN port and one SAS OUT port. If you connect them incorrectly, the Vess
R2600 does not recognize the Vess J2600 subsystems.
For more information, see the Vess J2600 Product Manual on the CD that came with the Vess J2600 subsystem.

CONFIGURING A MANAGEMENT PATH

The Vess R2600 controller manages the Vess J2600 subsystems. No additional management connections are required for JBOD
expansion.
