1.2. 12big Rack Fibre Expansion
Enclosure
The 12big Rack Expansion enclosure is nearly identical to the RAID
enclosure except Disk I/O modules replace the RAID Controllers.
Expanding the number of disk drives is achieved by connecting one
to seven 12big Rack Expansion enclosures to the RAID enclosure.
This allows for the expansion of up to a maximum of 96 disk drives
per storage solution.
Using mini-SAS patch cables, the enclosures are interconnected
starting from the 12big Rack Fibre 8 RAID Controller(s) to the first
12big Rack Fibre Disk I/O module(s). Then the remaining Expan-
sion enclosures are connected from one set of Disk I/O modules to
the next enclosure’s Disk I/O modules. For details on cabling the
enclosures refer to 2.5. Cabling the Enclosures and 2.6. Cabling
Multiple Enclosures.
