COnneCting a Vtrak JbOd
To expand the storage capacity of your VTrak SAN you can attach additional VTrak JBOD enclosures to the
VTrak A-Class unit. Follow these guidelines and procedure to perform the connections.
If you have a VTrak A-Class with one controller you will only need one SFF-8088 SAS cable to connect the JBOD
to the A-Class, and if it has two controllers you will need two SAS cables. These cables are provided with the
VTrak JBOD and should be located in the accessory box.
1. Starting with the VTrak A-Class controller on the left, remove the protective cap from one SAS cable
connector and plug it in to the SAS socket marked SAS EXP, located at the upper right corner of the
controller.
2. Remove the protective cap from the other end of the SAS cable connector and plug it in to the socket
marked SAS IN on the JBOD I/O module directly below.
3. Repeat for the VTrak A-Class controller on the right, connecting it to the JBOD I/O module directly below.
4. If you have any additional VTrak JBODs, connect them in the same manner, using the SAS OUT socket of
the last JBOD to “daisy chain” the units. Always connect a SAS OUT port to a SAS IN port.
