To connect a VTrak E-Class subsystem to a VTrak J-Class expansion chassis:
1.
Find the SAS data cables that ship with the J-Class.
2.
Connect one end of a SAS data cable to the SAS expansion port on the
VTrak E-Class RAID controller. See Figure 6 on the next page.
3.
Connect the other end of the SAS data cable to the Diamond icon SAS IN
port on the VTrak J-Class I/O module. See Figure 6 on the next page.
4.
If your VTrak E-Class has dual RAID controllers and your VTrak J-Class has
dual I/O modules, connect a second SAS data cable between the other
RAID controller and I/O module in the same manner.
5.
Optional. If your system has multiple VTrak J-Class expansion chassis,
connect their SAS data cables:
•
From the Circle icon SAS OUT port on the I/O module of the First VTrak
J-Class
•
To the Diamond icon SAS IN port on the I/O module of the Second
VTrak J-Class
See Figure 6 on the next page and Figure 7 on page 11.
Be sure all of your SAS data connections are Circle-to-Diamond.
