SAS Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
This arrangement requires:
• A standard network switch
• A network interface connector on the motherboard or network interface card
(NIC) in the Host PC
Configuring a Data Path
The VessRAID controller has two (2) SFF-8088 SAS IN Port connectors and one
(1) SFF-8088 SAS Expansion Port connector. See page 26, Figure 21.
To establish the data path:
1. Attach one end of a SAS data cable to the SAS HBA card in the Host PC.
See page 26, Figure 22.
2. Attach the other end of the SAS data cable to one of the SAS ports on the
VessRAID subsystem.
See also "SAS JBOD Expansion" on page 27.
Configuring a Management Path
The VessRAID controller has one (1) Ethernet RJ-45 Management Port
connector. See page 26, Figure 21.
To establish the management path:
1. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to the network connector or standard
NIC in the Host PC.
Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the standard
network switch.
See page 26, Figure 22.
2. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the standard
network switch.
Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Management Port on the
VessRAID subsystem.
If you have multiple VessRAID subsystems, Host PCs or Servers, repeat
steps 1 and 2 as required.
