Expander zoning

A SAS expander board allows higher, single-volume hard drive configurations. An integrated expander device expands each sleds hard drive footprint.

The Dell EMCPowerEdge C6400 enclosure supports four sled access to a single expander controller at the same time. The enclosure provides two expander zoning options:

  • Up to 6 SAS/SATA device of each sled in Split Mode (6+6+6+6)

    Up to 6 SAS/SATA device of each sled in Split Mode (6+6+6+6)

  • Up to 12 SAS/SATA device of sled 1 and sled 3 in Zoning Mode (12+12)

    Up to 12 SAS/SATA device of sled 1 and sled 3 in Zoning Mode (12+12)
NOTE
  • Install expander firmware 2.07 or later to support these configurations
  • The expander mode works only with a PERC card, and is not supported by the onboard SATA controller.
