Build up procedure 5. SGPIO connection 1. Take out the HDD tray and place a HDD in the tray as the following figure. Then install the tray back in NA341A. Please repeat this step from HDD1 to HDD8. The following connection description is only for the Raid HBA internal ports with SGPIO function. Please ignore this procedure if your HBA w/o SGPIO function. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Lock the HDD trays with the enclosed (H) key. Immobilize NA341A on the server rack or other proper place. Connecting the Host Channel 1~4 to the miniSAS connector marked With no. 1 and Channel 5~8 to miniSAS connector Marked with no. 2(Figure 1).

Please purchase Netstor’s optional converter kits of NS960S-SGPIO package then you will have an extra RS-232 cable for connection between Host (on NS960S) and this Chassis. NS960S-SGPIO Package Dual Internal miniSAS(SFF8087) to Dual External miniSAS (SFF8088), With RS-232 cable for External SGPIO connection. Converter: Q&A 1. Should the computer be powered on first or NA341A be powered on first? What’s the priority related to the power off procedure? 2. I have RAID HBA with two internal miniSAS connectors, can I use the RAID HBA with NA341A? NA341A is hot-swappable on both device side and host side. It doesn’t matter which machine is turned on or turned off first. Of course, you can turn these two internal connectors into external ones by using Netstor’s internal to external bridge board, NS960S with two SFF 8087 to SFF 8087 cables, AAMMMI-H. Figure 1.
