The
AccuSTOR AS316X6
is a
3U rack-mountable SAS JBOD rackmount for high capacit
y
storage. Due to the wide selection of SAS RAID controllers and diverse controller interfaces,
most JBOD units are unable to support detailed enclosure monitoring. This limitation delays
the process of troubleshooting, where administrators are unable to promptly
identify the
problem at first glance. The AccuSTOR AS316
X6 addresses this issue by incorporating a user
selectable switch, allowing the unit to support monitoring via various brands of RAID
controllers. Once the controller model has been determined via the selectable switch, the
AS316X6 utilizes industry-standard SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) technology, to allow the
communication between the rackmount and the host RAID adapter, without the need for
additional monitoring software or hardware cable. Compatible RAID cards include: Intel SAS
RAID, LSI MegaRAID, Dell PERC external SAS RAID, Areca 1680X or 1680iX series, ATTO
ExpressSAS, Adaptec SAS RAID and 3ware SAS RAID controllers.
