Preface 5. Preface Thank you for purchasing the DELL Model TL24iSCSIxSAS 1Gb iSCSI to SAS bridge. The bridge is designed to ensure connectivity between LTO SAS drives installed in a Dell PowerVault TL24iSCSIxSAS and the network. The bridge has been designed to ensure that the majority of installations will require the minimum of set up before use. However, we suggest you read the following as it will guide you through setting up both the Network and SAS aspects of the iSCSI bridge. The GUI Management section will guide you through the initial set up required to install the bridge on to your network. 5.1 Product Description The iSCSI bridge creates an interface between a network, which utilizes the Ethernet protocol, and peripherals that use a SAS bus architecture. The internal circuitry of the bridge acts as a two-way interface converting the data packets that are received from the network into data transfers and electrical signals that storage devices such as tape drives understand on the SAS bus.
