About the SATA Storage Enclosure 5-2 SATA Configurations 5-3 Daisy-chaining Adaptec SATA Storage Enclosures 5-5 Silencing the Audible Alarm 5-6 SATA I/O Module LEDs 5-6 SATA I/O Module Configuration 5-8 This chapter introduces the Adaptec SATA Storage Enclosure and describes how to cable and configure it as part of a complete storage subsystem.
SATA Storage Enclosures (FS4100 and FS4500) About the SATA Storage Enclosure Disk Drive Spin-up Sequence The two APC modules in the Storage Enclosure provide enough power for 12 disk drives to spin up simultaneously. If one APC fails, drives 1–6 will spin up first, followed by drives 7 and 8, drives 9 and 10, and then drives 11 and 12. Spin-up is staggered only on enclosures with one APC. See Drive Slot Numbers on page 1-5 for the location of each drive slot.
SATA Storage Enclosures (FS4100 and FS4500) Both I/O modules use SFP connectors, and accept either a copper SFP connected to a copper cable, or an optical SFP connected to an optical cable with LC connectors. The cable interface must be a standard FC cable, so the end that connects to the host is purely dependent on the host HBA connector selection. The Adaptec SATA Storage Enclosure uses a SATA interface to the hard disk drives. This SATA interface supports data rates of 1.5 Gb/sec.
SATA Storage Enclosures (FS4100 and FS4500) Dual SATA Configurations A dual Storage Enclosure has two FS4100 or two FS4500 I/O modules, and can be connected to one, two, three, or four hosts. Note: You cannot include Adaptec FS4100 and Adaptec FS4500 I/O modules together in the same Storage Enclosure. Dual SATA configurations provide a redundant controller and make better use of the available FC front-end bandwidth.
SATA Storage Enclosures (FS4100 and FS4500) Daisy-chaining Adaptec SATA Storage Enclosures You can daisy-chain up to eight FS4100 Storage Enclosures in a system. You can daisy-chain up to seven FS4100 Storage Enclosures behind an FS4500 Storage Enclosure. To daisy-chain enclosures, connect the Expansion port of one shelf to the Host port of another. Setting Shelf IDs You must set a unique shelf ID for each Storage Enclosure before powering on the system.

The slot numbers are pre-assigned, as shown in Figure 1-2 on page 1-5. You set the enclosure ID to any number between 0 and 9, using the ID switch on the ES module, shown in Figure 1-1 on page 1-4. When you power-on the enclosure, the ES module and LIO module read the ID switch setting and set the enclosure ID.
Fibre Channel Storage Enclosures (FC4100) LIO JBOD Module Configurations This section describes the FC configurations supported by your Adaptec FC Storage Enclosure. Note: All FC enclosures require the use of an appropriate SFP transducer (copper or optical). Single Loop (Nonredundant) Operation One LIO and the ES module are used for single, nonredundant, FC loop operation. A blank panel is used in the second LIO module slot to maintain proper airflow and cooling.
Fibre Channel Storage Enclosures (FC4100) 2 Gb/sec Operation The LIO module operates in both 1 and 2 Gb/sec FC modes. The FC loop speed is selected by setting LIO switch S1.2. When the switch (located on the LIO module), is set for 2 Gb/sec, the LIO module and entire enclosure will operate at 2 Gb/sec. The LIO module does not support auto-negotiation of the FC loop speed. Daisy-chaining FC Storage Enclosures You can daisy-chain Adaptec FC Storage Enclosures to a total of 120 disk drives.

Dual SATA provides a redundant controller and better utilization of the available FC front end bandwidth. The redundant controller provides data access from more hosts and added security of a second controller for data access.
