Fibre Channel with JBOD Expansion
To add JBOD units:
1.
Connect the SAS expansion port on the left controller of the RAID
subsystem to the SAS circle/in port on the left I/O module of the first JBOD
unit.
See below, Figure 11.

2.
subsystem to the SAS circle/in port on the right I/O module of the first JBOD
unit.
Connect the SAS diamond/out port on left I/O module of the first JBOD unit
3.
to the SAS circle/in port on the left I/O module of the second JBOD unit.
4.
Connect the SAS diamond/out port on right I/O module of the first JBOD unit
to the SAS circle/in port on the right I/O module of the second JBOD unit.
5.
Connect the remaining JBOD units in the same manner.
Keep your data paths organized to ensure redundancy.
JBOD expansion supports up to seven JBOD units.
