105 Appendix D: Upgrading a 2Gb SANbloc JBOD Array to a RAID Array In this section the procedure for upgrading a 2Gb SANbloc Series Storage Array from a JBOD system to a RAID system is described. The equipment and parts necessary for the upgrade are also described. Equipment and parts necessary for upgrade The following is a list of the equipment and parts required for the upgrade from JBOD to RAID: • Anti-static wrist strap and properly earthed grounding wire. • Phillips head screw driver. • 2Gb SANbloc RAID Controller (2 controllers if dual controller operation is required) • FC host cables to connect RAID controller to host/hub/switch Upgrading from JBOD to RAID CAUTION: Before beginning the upgrade, ensure that anti-static precautions are taken. The minimum requirement is an anti-static wrist strap and grounding wire. 1 Shut down the system and remove the power cables from the rear of the enclosure. 2 Using the Phillips head screwdriver, loosen the screws securing the I/O Module in the enclosure. 3 Using the handle on the module remove the I/O Module from the enclosure. 4 Into the I/O Module slot install the RAID controller and secure in place by tightening the screws using the Phillips head screw-

Appendix D: Upgrading a 2Gb SANbloc
JBOD Array to a RAID Array
In this section the procedure for upgrading a 2Gb SANbloc
Series Storage Array from a JBOD system to a RAID system
is described. The equipment and parts necessary for the
upgrade are also described.
Equipment and parts
necessary for
upgrade
The following is a list of the equipment and parts required
for the upgrade from JBOD to RAID:
Anti-static wrist strap and properly earthed grounding wire.
Phillips head screw driver.
2Gb SANbloc RAID Controller (2 controllers if dual controller
operation is required)
FC host cables to connect RAID controller to host/hub/switch
Upgrading from
JBOD to RAID
CAUTION: Before beginning the upgrade, ensure that anti-static
precautions are taken. The minimum requirement is an anti-static
wrist strap and grounding wire.
1
Shut down the system and remove the power cables from the
rear of the enclosure.
2
Using the Phillips head screwdriver, loosen the screws securing
the I/O Module in the enclosure.
3
Using the handle on the module remove the I/O Module from the
enclosure.
4
Into the I/O Module slot install the RAID controller and secure
in place by tightening the screws using the Phillips head screw-
