Making Data Connections

You can configure your VTrak JBOD as:

• Basic Direct Attached Storage (DAS) Connection (below)

• Cascading DAS Connection (page 20)

• Redundant Cascading DAS Connection (page 21)

Basic DAS Connection

To setup a basic DAS connection:

• You must have a SAS HBA card in the Host PC or server.

• Connect the SAS HBA card in the Host PC to the SAS IN port (with the circle

icon) on the VTrak. See Figure 11.

• Use the SFF-8088 4X to 4X external SAS cable supplied with the VTrak.

Figure 11. A basic DAS connection

The diagram above shows the VTrak J630s. A connection with the J830s is

exactly the same.

This completes data and management connections. Go to “Setting Up Serial

Cable Connections” on page 23.
