1. Introduction

The Astek A41606-ENC, D60-6A utilizes two Gen2 Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) expanders operating at 6Gbps with a sanitization algorithm that will sanitize up to 16 Self-Encrypting Drives

(SED) that support the Cryptographic Erase Functions “Key Erase” (SBC-3, Sections 5.24/2/4) and “Block Erase” (SBC-3, Section 5.24.2.3).

The A41606-ENC, D60-6A provide a dual ported storage enclosure based on Astek’s innovative SAS expander module, combined with a precision machined chassis, and a unique 'sled-less' disk mounting mechanism, these enclosures can hold up to sixteen 2.5” hard disks.

The A41606-ENC provides two external SAS x4 wide-port input/output connections per expander, with each wide port supporting up to 24Gbps of I/O. Each port can be connected either to a host or another A41606-ENC, allowing system designers to cascade multiple enclosures to further increase the total available storage.

2. Hardware Installation

Step 1: Secure chassis in rack mount or free standing on a flat level surface so that it

cannot slide or move.

Step 2: Connect SAS cables to back of chassis.

Step 3: Insert Hard Drives using four shoulder screws for each drive

CLI Functions

Command

Description

Read or Write All Drives

rwAll [Write(0) | Read (1)]

rwAll 0: Writes 512 Bytes of an A5A5 repeating

pattern to LUN 0 of each drives in the system using SCSI Block level commands.

rwAll 1 Reads 512 Bytes from LUN 0 of each

drives in the system using SCSI Block level commands.

Start Sanitization

santest

: Start the entire Sanitization process

- Disable Host-Side Phys

- Perform Sanitize Key Erase on all drives

- Prints first 512B of LUN 0 from each drives

- Block Erase all drives in the systems

- Prints test results

Sanitize LED

gpioState [On(0) | OFF(1) | BLINK(2)

| BLINK_FAST(3)]

Verify the Sanitization LED is operating properly Disable Host Phys

SSpDisablePhy

Disables the Host-Side(PC) SAS ports

Sanitize Key Erase

SSpKeyErase [drive-sasAddrHigh(H)

drive-sasAddrLow(H) timeOutInSec(d)]

Issues the SBC-3 Cryptographic command to change the encryption key stored in the crypto drive, thus effectively performing an instant erase.

Writes LBA(0)

SSpBlockWrite [drive-sasAddrHigh(H)

drive-sasAddrLow(H) WriteFlag(d) timeOutInSec(d)] WriteFlag [0:0xA5 pattern | 1: Block Erase Verification String]

Writes 512 Bytes of an A5A5 repeating pattern to LUN 0 of a specified drive

Sanitize Block Erase

SSpBlockErase [drive-sasAddrHigh(H)

drive-sasAddrLow(H) timeOutInSec(d)]

Block erase an entire drive

Reads LBA(0)

SSpBlockRead [drive-sasAddrHigh(H)

drive-sasAddrLow(H) timeOutInSec(d)]

Reads 512 Bytes from LUN 0 of a specified drive

Request Sense

SSpRequestSense [drive-sasAddrHigh(H)

drive-sasAddrLow(H) timeOutInSec(d)]

Issues the SCSI Request Sense Command

3. Cryptographic Erase

The Astek A41606-ENC, D60-6A has a sanitization algorithm that will sanitize up to 16 SelfEncrypting Drives (SED) that support the Cryptographic Erase Functions “Key Erase”.

 Key Erase” (SBC-3, Sections 5.24/2/4  Block Erase” (SBC-3, Section 5.24.2.3

To erase data from drives connect to the CLI using the serial port with connection speed of 38400 and parameters 8-N-1. A password is needed; the default is “expander”

The “santest” CLI command starts the erase process. It changes the encryption key stored in the crypto drive, thus effectively performing an instant erase then does a block erase of the drive.
