FORTRA products use advanced mid-plane technology developed by JMR,

which allows power supplies, drives, and all other enclosure components to

interface into a single board. This provides superior performance and easy

connectivity.

The host interface supports one SCSI-2 host connection and two SCSI-2 disk

connections. The SCSI-2 connections are made using a High-Density 68-pin

SCSI cable.

3. Device Installation

This chapter covers SCSI device installation for 10-bay rackmount and 10-bay

tower enclosures.

SCA Connection and Hot-Swapping

The unit uses SCA-2 (80-pin) connectors which provide a safe means of

connection/disconnection when hot-swapping devices. In order to hot-swap

devices, the host adapter or RAID controller and host operating software must

support the feature. Any SCA (80-pin) drive is capable of plugging directly into

the backplane of the unit and should not require any additional cabling or

connections.

SAF-TE Commands

This section covers the SAF-TE commands that are implemented in the enclosure. The SAF-

TE Processor in the enclosure is referred to as the SEP. It is possible that some of the

commands may also be accessed through a host controller menu if the host controller has

implemented the same commands. The commands that are not marked with a '*' are

mandatory SAF-TE commands and must be implemented by the host adapter for basic

communication to the enclosure.

Not all of the commands listed here are required to be implemented in order to be SAF-TE

compliant. The commands that are optional and are not required in order to meet the SAF-TE

specification but are specified within the specification have been marked with a '*' before the

command. JMR Electronics, Inc. has implemented all of the SAF-TE commands

in the SAF-TE specification including the optional commands, to ensure

compatibility with other vendors. All of the SAF-TE commands can be accessed

through the utility software even if the host adapter has not implemented it or does

not support the command.

SAF-TE does not require that any additional cabling be installed between the

enclosure and the host. Since the enclosure is assigned an ID on the SCSI bus, all

of the communication between the host and enclosure takes place over the SCSI

bus. For SAF-TE to function, both the enclosure and the host adapter must

support the SAF-TE specification and be connected on the same bus in order to

communicate. The SEP in the enclosure is a passive target and will not execute

these commands unless an initiator host controller requests it.

Perform Slot Operation Command

Perform slot operation is a mandatory SAF-TE command that is used to perform

various operations on device slots. The available operations are listed below.

Prepare for operation

Requests that the enclosure SEP should take any action required to make

the device in the selected slot available on the SCSI bus. This powers up

the slot.

Prepare for insertion or removal

Requests that the enclosure SEP should take any action required to allow

the safe physical insertion or removal of a device from the selected slot.

This powers down the slot.

Identify

Requests that the enclosure SEP should indicate the physical location of

the selected slot. This causes the selected slot activity LED to blink.

Read Device Slot Status Command

Read device slot status is a mandatory SAF-TE command that returns information

on the current state of each drive/slot. The available status reports are described

below:

Device Inserted

Reports whether or not there is a physical device inserted in the slot

selected.

Ready for Insertion/ Removal

Reports whether or not the slot is ready for the physical insertion or

removal of a device.

Prepared for Operation

Reports whether or not the slot is activated so that the inserted drive may

be accessed on the SCSI bus.

Send Global Command

Send global command is a mandatory SAF-TE command that is used to send

commands that apply to the entire enclosure globally rather than to a specific

device, channel, or device slot. Global commands set a flag on the enclosure SEP

that can give several results as listed below:

SYSTEM FAULT

Indicates that a global error condition has occurred

as determined by the host adapter.

WARNING FAULT

COOLING FAULT

Condition is determined by the host adapter.

Indicates that a blower/temperature failure has

occurred.

POWER SUPPLY FAULT Indicates that system power has been lost.

DRIVE FAULT

Indicates that a drive has failed.

DRIVE 'x' FAULT

Indicates that a potential error has or may have

occurred on a drive.

ARRAY FAULT

Indicates that an array has failed.

CRITICAL FAULT

Indicates that an array is not fault-tolerant.

Write Device Slot Status Command

Write device slots status is a mandatory SAF-TE command. These commands

affect the device slots and can only be set from a host adapter. Device Slot Status

commands set a flag on the enclosure SEP that can give several results as listed

below:

Indicates a member of the array has an

ARRAY FAULT IN SLOT 'x'

error.

CRITICAL FAULT IN SLOT 'x'

Indicates that the device is in an array

that has become non-fault tolerant.

DATA PARITY FAULT IN SLOT 'x' Indicates the device is in an array

which is undergoing a parity check

operation.

DATA TRANSFER FAULT IN SLOT 'x' Indicates that the device has exhibited

some hardware or data fault.

NO DRIVE FAULT IN SLOT 'x'

Indicates that the slot has no drive

inserted.

PREDICTED FAULT IN SLOT 'x'

Indicates that the device has been

tagged by a fault prediction algorithm

as being likely to fail in the near

future.

REBUILDING DRIVE IN SLOT 'x'

Indicates that the device is being

rebuilt.

This counts the number of times that the enclosure has been powered on.

This number is cumulative over the life of the unit.

*Set SCSI ID Command

This is an optional SAF-TE command that is used to set the SCSI bus ID of any

device slot the SEP can communicate with. Changing a device SCSI ID to an

already used SCSI ID will result in the SAF-TE processor automatically selecting

an unused ID. The bus may need to be rescanned by the host controller before the

new ID is recognized.
