Connecting multiple Extended Storage units
When connecting multiple Extended Storage (JBOD) units to LiveCapture 3100, it is important to note that each LiveCapture 3100 and Extended Storage unit have LiveAction labels with matching serial numbers. Additionally, each Extended Storage unit has a label on the front (designating JBOD 1, 2, 3, etc.), which is the order the units are daisy-chained to LiveCapture 3100 and each of the Extended Storage units. Multiple SAS external cascading cables are included and are also labeled to guide you in connecting each of the units.
To connect multiple Extended Storage units:
1. Locate the LiveAction label on each LiveCapture 3100 and Extended Storage unit. Make sure the LiveAction serial numbers are the same on LiveCapture 3100 and each of the storage units.
2. Locate the first Extended Storage unit labeled as ‘JBOD 1’ and also the SAS external cascading cable labeled ‘HBA - Port 0.’ Use the ‘HBA Port 0’ cable and connect the Extended Storage unit ‘JBOD 1’ to LiveCapture 3100 as described in Connecting Extended Storage to LiveCapture 3100. Make sure the release pull-tab on the cable is on top.
3. Locate the second Extended Storage unit labeled as ‘JBOD 2’ and also the SAS external cascading cable labeled ‘JBOD 1 - Port 1.’ Use the ‘JBOD 1 - Port 1’ cable and connect this Extended Storage unit to the previous Extended Storage unit (JBOD 1). Make sure the release pull-tab on the cable is on top.
4. Repeat Step 3 for any additional Extended Storage units, making sure each successive ‘JBOD’ is connected to the previous ‘JBOD’ using the appropriate SAS external cascading cable.
