LaCie 12big Rack Fibre 8 System Overview

User Manual page 15

The RAID Controller module incorporates LED indicators for display-

ing the status of the controller, details of the LED status conditions

are shown in Fig. 09 and Table 03

The 12big Rack Fibre 8 RAID Controller module has the following

external ports:

✦ Two external ﬁber channel “Host” ports that allow for ﬁt-

ting of Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) modules, with

auto-bypass at the output. Either or both of these SFP ports

can be used to provide connection to the host HBAs us-

ing Fibre Channel cables. Each host port operates at 8

Gb/s, giving an effective speed of 16 Gb/s.

These ports are also backwards compatible with 4

Gb/s, 2 Gb/s and 1 Gb/s hosts. The Host Port Status LED

will be illuminated steady when there is no I/O activity and

will ﬂash indicating I/O activity and a separate status LED is

provided for each of the three operational speeds. The 2 Gb/s

and 1 Gb/s share the same LED. If the LED is extinguished, an

invalid link is indicated.

✦ A SAS expansion port provides for expanding the number of

drives up to a maximum of 96, where up to seven additional

Expansion enclosures are connected via the 4-port mini-SAS

connector. The SAS expansion port operates at 3 Gb/s.

✦ An RJ45 10/100BaseT Ethernet port provides for out-of -band

management and monitoring using the embedded StorView

Storage Management software when connected to a network.

IMPORTANT INFO: Only shielded Cat 5 (or better) cables should

be used for connection to the Ethernet port for Electromagnetic

Compatibility Directive 89/336/EEC (EMC) conformance.

✦ A RS232 serial port provides an alternative user interface to

the RAID Controller’s RAID Conﬁguration Utility.

IMPORTANT INFO: The RS232 port is a RCA type connector. It

requires a special RCA to DB9 cable.
