SAS to SAS/SATA JBOD Subsystem
Chapter 1 Introduction
The Expansion Chassis
The JBOD subsystem is a 19-inch 4U 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.
The 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. It also supports dual JBOD controllers which provide better fault tolerance and higher reliability of system operation. The JBOD subsystem 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.

1.7 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 Maintenance
3.1 Upgrading the JBOD Controller’s 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 (Phone jack 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.

3.2 Replacing Subsystem Components
3.2.1 Replacing JBOD Controller Module
When replacing a failed JBOD Controller Module, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure the subsystem is in power off state. Loosen the thumbscrews on the sides of the Controller Module case.
2. Use the Controller handle to pull out the defective Controller.
3. Insert and slide the new Controller in. Note that it may be necessary to remove the old/defective Controller Module from the case and install the new one.
4. Tighten the thumbscrews on the sides of the Controller Module case.

3.2.1.1 Replacing JBOD Controller Module with Blanking Plate
When replacing a failed Controller Module with Blanking Plate, please follow these steps:
1. Loosen thumbscrews of the failed Controller Module.
2. Use the Controller Module handle to remove the failed Controller Module from the subsystem.
3. Insert the Controller Blanking Plate included in your package.
4. Tighten the screws of the Blanking Plate.
When replacing a failed component online, it is not recommended to remove the failed component for a long period of time; proper air flow within the enclosure might fail causing high controller/disk drive temperature.
User Manual 37
SAS to SAS/SATA JBOD Subsystem
3.2.2 Replacing Power Supply Fan Module
When replacing a failed power supply fan module (PSFM), please follow these steps:
1. Turn off the Power On/Off Switch of the failed PSFM.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the AC Inlet Plug of PSFM.
3. Loosen thumbscrews of the PSFM.
4. Use the handle to pull out the defective PSFM.
5. Before inserting the new PSFM, make sure the Power On/Off Switch is on "Off" state.
6. Insert and slide the new PSFM in until it clicks into place.
IMPORTANT: When the subsystem is online and a Power Supply fails, and the replacement Power Supply module is not yet available, the failed Power Supply Module can be replaced with the Plate Cover. This is to maintain proper airflow within the enclosure. (Refer to next section)
When replacing a failed component online, it is not recommended to remove the failed component for a long period of time; proper air flow within the enclosure might fail causing high controller/disk drive temperature.
7. Connect the power cord to the AC Inlet Plug of PSFM.
8. Tighten the thumbscrews of the PSFM.
9. Turn on the Power On/Off Switch of the PSFM.
NOTE: After replacing the Power Supply Fan Module and turning on the Power On/Off Switch of the PSFM, the Power Supply will not power on immediately. The Fans in the PSFM will spin-up until the RPM becomes stable. When Fan RPM is already stable, the
RAID controller will then power on the Power Supply. This process takes more or less 30 seconds. This safety measure helps prevent possible Power Supply overheating when the Fans cannot work.
