Connecting SuperTrak to a SuperSwap Enclosure
If you are using Promise SuperSwap enclosures:
1.
Attach SAS fanout cables to the SAS ports of the SuperTrak card.
2. Connect the other ends of the SAS fanout cables to the SuperSwap
enclosure.
3. Connect the 3-to-3 pin management cable (came with the SuperSwap) from
the SuperSwap connector on SuperTrak card to the Management connector
on the back of the the SuperSwap housing.
4. Optional. If you are installing multiple SuperSwap 4600s, install a 6-pin
daisy-chain cable from the daisy-chain OUT connector of the first
SuperSwap to the daisy-chain IN connector of the second.
SuperTrak supports up to eight SuperSwap 1600 enclosures or up to two
SuperSwap 4600 enclosures.
Connecting SuperTrak to a VTrak JBOD Enclosure
If you are connecting the SuperTrak card to a single VTrak JBOD enclosure, you
can attach the SAS multi-lane cable to either the circle or diamond port on the
enclosure.
However, if you plan to cascade multiple VTrak JBOD enclosures, you must
attach the SAS multi-lane cable to the circle port on the first enclosure.
