SAS Expander Storage Servers

Configurable as a stand-alone Storage Server or SAS Expander Host Node for adding JBOD units

When chassis enclosures are cascaded, expanders of the same type are recommended. A limit of 4 cascaded expanders is supported.

What is an Expander?

Expanders are simple switches in enclosures that provide connectivity between the RAID controller and the other devices in the SAS domain. The SAS domain includes all SAS and SATA devices that are connected to the controller including through expanders.
