SAS to SAS/SATA JBOD Subsystem
Chapter 1 Introduction
The JBOD subsystem
This JBOD subsystem is a 19-inch 3U rackmount JBOD unit with optimized solutions for servers and external storage systems. It features the latest SAS 3.0 12Gb/s interface and designed to fit in with the environments which needed highly reliable and relentless data growth. This JBOD subsystem incorporates the latest enhancements in SAS along with LSI DataBolt bandwidth optimizer technology (EDFB,
End Device Frame Buffering). Using DataBolt, it delivers optimized throughput by allowing users to gain 12Gb/s host speeds with current-generation 6Gb/s drives. It is also a versatile SAS3 / SATA3 disk expansion system, ideal for high capacity and scalability storage in IT demands. The JBOD subsystem also supports dual JBOD controllers which provide better fault tolerance and higher reliability of system operation. It offers GUI management to monitor enclosure environmental conditions through a remote connection.

1.5 Power Supply / Fan Module (PSFM)
The JBOD subsystem contains two 500W Power Supply / Fan Modules. All
PSFMs are inserted into the rear of the chassis.
1.5.1 PSFM Panel
The Power Supply/Fan Module panel has: Power On/Off Switch, the AC Inlet
Plug, and a Power On/Fail Indicator showing the Power Status LED, indicating ready or fail.
Each fan within a PSFM is powered independently of the power supply within the same PSFM. So if the power supply of a PSFM fails, the fan associated with that PSFM will continue to operate and cool the enclosure.

When the power cord connected from main power source is inserted to the AC
Power Inlet, the power status LED becomes RED . When the switch of the PSFM is turned on, the LED will turn GREEN . When the Power On/Fail LED is GREEN , the PSFM is functioning normally.
1.5.3 Fans of PSFM
Each PSFM has 2 fans: Master Fan and Slave Fan.
The Master Fan is located beside the PSFM panel.
The Slave Fan is located in the rear side.
Slave Fan Master Fan
NOTE: In the LCD display, Master Fan of Power Supply Unit 1 is shown as “Fan01”, and Slave Fan of Power Supply Unit 1 is shown as

1.7 Drive Carrier Module
The Drive Carrier Module houses a 3.5 inch hard disk drive. It is designed for maximum airflow and incorporates a carrier locking mechanism to prevent unauthorized access to the HDD.
1.7.1 Disk Drive Status Indicators
Every Drive Carrier has 2 status indicator lights. One indicator light is used for
Power On/Error. When this light is
GREEN
the power is on and everything is functioning normally. When the Power On/Error light is
RED
, then an error has happened that requires the user’s attention.
The other status indicator light is the hard disk drive access light. When the hard disk drive is being accessed, this light will flash
BLUE
.
In addition, both indicator lights are viewable within a 170° arc.

Chapter 3 JBOD Firmware Upgrade
Upgrading Firmware
IMPORTANT: Before upgrade the JBOD firmware, please shut down server first or make sure no array setting on the JBOD disks. The new Firmware will effective after JBOD power cycle.
NOTE: Upgrading the firmware must be done from Master JBOD
Controller (JBOD Controller 1) if the JBOD Subsystem has redundant JBOD Controllers.
Steps:
1. Please use the RS232 cable (RJ-11 to DB9) to JBOD Controller #1 and to connect JBOD RS232 Port and PC COM1 Port (or change to other COM Port as necessary).
2. Open Windows HyperTerminal Program. Connect using COM1 (COM Port used in
Step1), Baud Rate: 115200, n, 8, 1, Flow Control: None.
3. Please type “system upgrade”, than press “Enter” in command line.
