Configuration Rules

Configuration Rules

These rules must be applied when implementing the 2Gb

SANbloc Series configurations:

•When daisy chaining, both 2Gb enclosures must be configured

identically.

•1Gb and 2Gb systems cannot be daisy chained together.

•Two LS modules and two I/O modules are required for dual

drive loops.

•Cannot mix optical and copper I/O modules in the same

enclosure (both I/O Modules must be the same).

•Cannot mix 1Gb and 2Gb LS and I/O modules, and 1Gb and

2Gb cables.

•2Gb JBOD enclosures require 2Gb cables.

•2Gb JBOD enclosures require 2Gb disk drives.

•Disk drive blanks must be ordered for any empty drive slots.

Supported Host Bus Adapters

Only the following QLogic Host Bus Adapters should be

used with the 2Gb SANbloc Series enclosures:

•QLA-2300 (Rev. C or higher)

•QLA-2310 (Rev. C or higher)
