Figure 4-5: RS-232C Connection

Two SCSI ports on the six channel models (ES U16UG4010-62-0030 and ES U16UG4010-65-0030) can be used for capacity expansion to cascade a RAID system with a JBOD. Connect the SCSI ports on the controller box’s face plate (marked as CH4 and CH5) to ports on a JBOD. No termination setting is necessary, and there is no limitation as to which expansion port should be connected with which port on a JBOD. To be able to monitor the status of different JBOD components it is necessary to use a JBOD that can be connected to the I2C port on the ES U16U subsystem. See Error! Reference source not found..

4.5. Power On

Once all the components have been installed in the SR controller, the host channels have been connected to the host and the drive channels have been connected to the SCSI-320 drives, the controller can be powered on.
