Questions about this item

Can the 12Gb SAS controllers connect to our existing 6Gb SAS host bus adapters?

Yes, the dual 12Gb SAS 4-port controllers negotiate down to 6Gb or 3Gb speeds, so current HBAs will link without extra configuration.

How do I verify the array is healthy after racking and cabling?

The front-panel LEDs show green for power and drive status; the management GUI then reports all twelve 2.4TB drives online with zero degraded or failed indicators.

Which items ship inside the 2U chassis and what must I order separately?

The unit includes two 580W redundant power supplies, two 12Gb SAS controllers, and twelve 2.4TB SAS drives pre-installed; host cables, SFP+ transceivers, and any expansion enclosures are sold separately.
