3 Fibre Channel 2Gb Model available. 2Gb models use SFP transceivers.
FORTRAproducts use advanced mid-plane technology developed by JMR,
which 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 one SCSI-2 host connection and two SCSI-2 disk
connections. The SCSI-2 connections are made using a High-Density 68-pin
SCSI cable.

SCSI Features
Tri Channel
The 10-bay SCSI RAID with G5312 both Tower and Rackmount enclosures have
a tri SCSI bus configuration with five drive bays on internal bus A and five drive
bays on internal bus B. In addition, there are two external connections for SCSI
host bus connection IN and OUT.
Automatic Built-In Termination
The unit provides automatic dual-mode SE/LVD termination enable and disable
for any Single-Ended or LVD SCSI devices installed in the unit.
ID Selection
Standard default ID's are pre-configured as follows:
Channel A: ID 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
Channel B: ID 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
SAF-TE: Channel A, ID 5 (Optional)
SAF-TE
The SAF-TE command set is supported by the SAF-TE board installed in the unit.
Host setup software is included and is supported under Dos 5.0+, Windows 95,
and Windows 98. Boot disk must load DOS SCSI drivers from autoexec.bat and
config.sys. Host bus adapter ASPI drivers are required to run the test software.
The software is not needed for SAF-TE to operate. The processor will operate
normally without user intervention as long as the host bus adapter or RAID
controller supports the SAF-TE protocol.

may be installed and shipped in the canisters as long as the canisters 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.
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
FORTRAenclosures have been designed to meet the air-flow/cooling
requirements for popular 7,200, 10,000, and 15,000 RPM disk drives. Using high
performance blowers, air is pulled in from all open vents and exhausted out the
back of the unit.
On 10-bay units, the blower speed can be manually changed through the SAF-TE
interface for noise control.
Rotation Vibration Specifications
FORTRAenclosures 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
(blowers) and Chapter 6 (power supply).
Fault Indicators
On a blower fault, all the front status LEDs will blink 'Red'. The blower LED on
the back of the unit will light red and an audible alert will sound.three times.
On a power supply fault, all the front status LEDs will also blink 'Red'. The
power supply fault LED will light and an audible alert will sound five times.
On a temperature fault, the audible alert will sound two times.
Audible Alert
There are three audible enclosure alerts:
Two beeps indicate a temperature issue.
Three beeps indicate a blower failure;
Five beeps indicate a power supply failure;
SYS-FLT
The SYS-FLT LED on the back of the unit indicates an error on the SAF-TE bus.
It will also blink whenever the host controller interrogates the SAF-TE processor
for a status update.
S-ACT
The S-ACT LED will blink to indicate activity on the SAF-TE bus.

This chapter covers SCSI device installation for 10-bay rackmount and 10-bay
tower enclosures.
SCA Connection and Hot-Swapping
The unit uses SCA-2 (80-pin) connectors which provide a safe means of
connection/disconnection when hot-swapping devices. In order to hot-swap
devices, the host adapter or RAID controller and host operating software must
support the feature. Any SCA (80-pin) 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. The photo to the right shows the canister in a
locked position.
2. Pull the handle out to unlock the canister
from the FORTRA
unit. Ensure that the
thumb is placed below the line. Pressing the
thumb against the Status LED lens could
break it. Notice that the locking tab slides
down as the handle is pulled out.
3. 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.
SICHERHEITSHINWEIS: Nachdem ein Einschub vom Gehäuse wie in "Step
3" gezeigt gelöst wurde, warten Sie bitte ca. 10 Sekunden bevor der

This chapter covers SCSI device setup and option settings. Please take note of the
installation warnings below before beginning setup.
Slot Settings
The pictures below show the slot numbering sequence and the default ID settings.
Channel A and B default ID settings are factory set and can only be changed by using
the SAF-TE Test Utility. Refer to Chapter 9
for SAF-TE utility setup and use.
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.
