Connecting SAS/SATA Devices to the Analyzer
Depending on the model of your analyzer, you will have different SAS/SATA connectors
on the front panel, as follows:
•
Avalanche systems provide MiniSAS connectors.
•
SASTracer systems provide either SATA-style connectors or Infiniband
connectors, depending on the module installed in your SASTracer.
Avalanche
Connectors
Avalanche systems provide MiniSAS connectors, each of which can be connected to up
to four devices. Devices can be connected using either MiniSAS-to-MiniSAS cables, or
using "octopus" cables, which provide connections from one MiniSAS connector to up to
four SATA-style connectors.
SASTracer
Connectors
Depending on the module installed in your SASTracer chassis, you will have either
SATA-style connectors or Infiniband connectors..
Model SS004MAA-X incorporates the SAS external "Infiniband style" connector which
includes both a non-intrusive as well as a repeater style front-end. This allows users to
selectively switch between these two probing techniques based on their specific
application. Only one pair of connectors may be used at a time.
Note: Users with model SS004MAA-X must switch between "repeater"
and "non-intrusive" using the SASSuite software. Go to Setup >
Probe Control to enable "repeater" or "non-intrusive" mode.
