The 12Gb/s SAS interface supports both 12Gb/s SAS disk drives for data-intensive applications and 6Gb/s SATA drives for low-cost bulk storage of reference data. The Fibre/SAS/iSCSI to 12Gb/s SAS RAID controllers attach directly to SATA/SAS midplanes with 3/4 x Z-PACK HM-Zd high speed connectors or increase capacity using one additional Min SAS HD SFF-8644 external connector.
The 12Gb/s SAS RAID subsystem supports flexible interface configuration; 8 x 12Gb/s SAS ports, 2 x 16Gb/s fibre channels, 4 x 32Gb/s fibre channels or 2 x 10Gb/s iSCSI channel host and 4 x 12Gb/s SAS port expanders for performance and easy expansion. When used with 12Gb/s SAS expanders, the controller can provide up to (256) devices through one or more SAS JBODs, making it an ideal solution for enterprise class storage applications that calls for maximum configuration flexibility.
Features:
- 2U-12, 3U-16, 2U-24 and 4U-24 form factor featuring hot-swappable drives bays
- Redundant hot-swappable SAS expander I/O modules, power with cooling fan modules
- Activity / Fault LEDs for each individual drive carrier
- Single JBOD I/O module with optional upgrade to dual SAS I/O modules
- Three 12Gb/s Min SAS SFF-8644 wide ports --- host port: 1 / 2 , expansion port: 2 / 1
- Hot swap and redundant components for increased system availability
- LCD Control Panel support for easy interactive with module
- CLI through out-of-band RS-232 serial port
- SES-3 over in-band SAS for enclosure management
- Supports any mix of 12Gb/s, 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s SATA and SAS hard drives and SSDs for greater flexibility
- Host Interface per Expander Module :Two 12Gb/s Min SAS HD 4x wide ports via two SFF-8644 connections
