StorBladeTM
StorBladeTM products use advanced mid-plane technology developed by JMR,
that 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 single-ended, Wide Ultra2 SCSI (LVD), and Ultra
160. Connections to a SCSI host can be made using a 68-pin (HD68) SCSI cable.

SCSI Features
Daisy Chaining
StorBladeTM SCSI enclosures include a SCSI I/O OUT port to allow additional
devices and enclosures to be daisy-chained easily onto the bus. The limit of
devices and enclosures that can be added is only regulated by the maximum cable
length and maximum number of devices as specified by the SCSI standard. For
specific connection and installation information, refer to Chapter 4.
ID Selection
0-15 device ID addresses are addressable in SCSI wide configurations and can be
easily set-up via ID Jumpers for each slot located on the I/O module. For specific
connection and installation information, refer to Chapter 4.

Agency Compliance
StorBladeTM enclosures have been designed and built to comply with the FCC
Class A, UL, CSA/TUV, CE, and C-Tick standards. For more information on
FCC Class A compliance, see page 2.
Packaging Specifications
StorBladeTM packaging has been designed to be reusable and recyclable.
Drives may be installed and shipped in the canisters as long as the canisters are in
their original packaging location and are not installed in the enclosure. Shipping
the unit with canisters and/or power supplies installed in the enclosure may cause
damage to the enclosure or to the drives and will void the warranty.
SAFETY TIP: Reshipping the enclosure with canisters, drives, or power
supplies installed in the enclosure may cause damage to these
components and will void the warranty
SICHERHEITSHINWEIS: Der Versand des Gehäuses mit eingebauten
Einschüben, Platten und Netzteilen kann zur Beschädigung dieser
Komponenten führen und somit den Garantieanspruch gefährden.
Packaging complies with ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) standards
and has been ISTA certified.
Each canister is pre-packaged in an anti-static bag. Do not throw the packaging
away if the product is intended for re-shipping. When transporting or shipping a
JMR approved shipping container must be used.
Disclaimer
The original product packaging has been tested and is safe under normal shipping
circumstances. Reshipping the product without using the original product
packaging will void the warranty. Do not ship the unit with canisters and/or
power supplies installed in the enclosure as this will void the warranty and could
cause damage to the unit and drives. The canisters should be packaged separately
within the product packaging, as provided.

Thermal Specifications
StorBladeTM enclosures have been designed to meet the air-flow/cooling
requirements for popular 7,200, 10,000 and 15,000 RPM disk drives. Using a
high performance blower, air is pulled in from all open vents and exhausted out
the back of the unit.
Rotation Vibration Specifications
StorBladeTM enclosures have been designed to meet the rotation
vibration/shock requirements for popular 7,200, 10,000 and 15,000 RPM disk
drives.
Fault Indication Features
This section reviews the indicators that will notify the user of a power supply or
blower that is in a fault state. More information is available in Chapter 5 power
supply and blowers.
Fault Indicators
All slots will blink 'Red' in color on a blower fault. On a power supply fault, the
front power supply LED will blink on and off.
Audible Alert
On a blower or power supply fault, an audible alert will sound.

3. Device Installation
This chapter covers SCSI device installation for 4-bay 1U rackmount enclosures.
SCA Connection and Hot-Swapping
The unit uses SCA-2 type connectors which provide a safe means of
connection/disconnection when hot-swapping devices. In order to utilize this
feature, the host adapter or RAID controller and host operating software must
support the feature. Any SCA drive is capable of plugging directly into the
backplane of the unit and should not require any additional cabling or
connections.
Canister Removal/Insertion
1. Pull the handle out to unlock the canister from the StorBladeTM unit.
Notice that the locking tab slides down as the handle is pulled out.
2. Pull the canister straight out to remove. Ensure that any installed devices
are spun down before full removal to prevent damage to the drive.
Follow the steps in reverse to reinstall.
SAFETY TIP: After disengaging a device from the enclosure, allow 10 seconds
before pulling the canister out of the unit. This allows the device to
properly spin/shut down before transport.

2. Place the device in the canister with the four screw holes aligned with the
holes in the device. Mount the drive by using the screws included with the
unit. (use all 4 screws to mount the drive).
3. Replace the canister into the unit.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all devices are installed.
5. Configure ID, and other options as required
6. Establish host connection

4. SCSI Setup
This chapter covers SCSI device setup and option settings. Please take note of the
installation warnings below before beginning setup.
WARNING: Take care when connecting the unit to an AC power source to
ensure that it is plugged-in to a circuit of the appropriate rating (110v or
220v). For safe operation, the circuit should have over-current protection
to prevent damage to the unit in the event of circuit overloading.
WARNUNG: Vergewissern Sie sich, daß die Netzspannung (220V / 110V)
korrekt eingestellt ist, bevor Sie das Gerät mit dem Stromnetz verbinden.
Zur Sicherheit sollte das Netz über einen Überspannungsschutz zur
Vermeidung von Schäden im Falle einer Überlast verfügen.
WARNING: When connecting the unit to an AC outlet or power strip, ensure
that the outlet has the proper connection for grounding. The AC power
cables included with the unit have three prongs, one of which is used for
the ground connection. Do not use a two prong AC cable with the unit
since this will not allow for proper unit grounding and could cause
problems with normal unit operation.
WARNUNG: Bei der Verbindung der Unit mit einer Steckdose oder einer
Verteilerdose sollten sie auf eine korrekte Erdung derselben achten. Die
mitgelieferten Kaltgeräteanschlußkabel habe 3 Kontakte, von denen
einer zur Erdung verwendet wird. Verwenden Sie kein Stromkabel mit 2
Anschlüssen, da dieses keine korrekte Erdung ermöglicht und Probleme
während des regulären Betriebs verursachen kann.
