16 bays 3U Rackmount
SAS to SAS/SATA-II JBOD Subsystem
The Alnico 8161J is a 3U JBOD subsystems, supports up to 16 3,5" SAS or SATA-II drivers. The single miniSAS ( 4 x 3Gb/sec) ports provides connectivity and bandwidth to RAID subsystem or Sever, 2 x down stream mniSAS port for large capacity solutions requiring multiple cascaded more JBOD units.
Alnico 8161J is a full modular design, provides redundancy and hot swappable cooling fans, Power supplies can tolerate a main failure without interrupting service. All heath status can be reproting and monitoring through in-band SES. Firmware can be upgraded through in-band SAS or serial port.
Optional second JBOD expander module provide redundand datapaths t further help ensure availbility.
Highlights
Supports Serial Attached SCSI and SATA-II hard drives simultaneously.
1 x High performance miniSAS connectors ( 4 x 3Gb/sec Links) for host per I/O board.
2 x down-stream min-SAS supported, It can connect more SAS JBODs for capacity expansion.
Single SAS expander module supported, optional 2nd SAS expander module for Dual Redundant controller mode.
Heathy monitoring by In-band SES.
System Architecture
Single SAS expander module supported, optional 2nd SAS expander module for Dual Redundant controller mode.
Host Interface
1 x Up Stream miniSAS ( 4 x 3Gb links) per Expender board
Drive Interface
16 of SAS/SATA-II channel - by backplane ( SAS Disk supported only, when 2nd SAS expander module installed)
2 x miniSAS ( 4 x 3Gb Links) for expansion per Expender board
Monitors/Indicators
Through In band SAS
System status indication through LEDs and alarm buzzer
Environmental /Physical
Cooling
Two redundant, hot-swappable cooling modules with self-regulating speeds and wide range airflow design
Controlled by RAID controller automatically maintaining optimal ambient temperature
Electrical
Redundant by Dual 460W power supplies with PFC, load-sharing type, hot-swappable and cable-less design
