2 Introduction
2.1 Overview
In-Win’s RJ-460-08 JBOD System is a high performance, reliable storage system with sensors to
monitor system health and high-density 4U 60-bay enclosure. We provide state-of-the-art
management functionality for users to monitor and manage JBOD systems efficiently and
flexibly. Users can manage JBOD systems through serial port and/or Ethernet according to the
system configuration on the system.
FIGURE 1 RJ-460-08 INTERNAL BACKPLANES
Figure 1 depicts the internal boards system. The backplanes, front panel and power suppliers
are shared by primary (BRIDGE-P, EDGE1-P and EDGE2-P) and secondary domain (BRIDGE-S,
EDGE1-S and EDGE2-S). The secondary domain is optional for redundant applications.

RJ-460-08 User Guide PAGE 4 OF 35
2.2 Key Features
 Reliable High Data Rate Support (up to 12Gbps)
o SAS3 12Gbps support and SATA3 6Gbps support to provide a reliable high-
performance data rate.
 Dual SAS3 Domain Support
o System can accommodate dual domain expanders to support data redundancy
capability.
 Power Redundancy
o System can accommodate 2 sets of power modules as redundancy. Either power
module could work independently while the peer is out of order or not selected.
 Hot-swappable Modules
o The PSUs are hot-swappable. System can keep operating during PSU
replacement.
o The fan modules are hot-swappable. System can keep operating during fan
module replacement.
o The HDDs are hot-swappable. No need to shut down the system for HDD
installation and/or replacement when needed.
 TCP/IP Network Support
o Support ethernet 10/100/1000Mb TELNET/TFTP/HTTP network. User can use
ethernet port to enter console and control the system.
 Faulty System Alarm
o The Faulty System red LED indicator on the front panel illuminates along with a
beeping sound while there is faulty part(s) in the system. The buzzing alarm can
be muted by pressing the mute button on the front panel.
 Smart Fan Control
o The fan modules possess a smart control feature set by the providing seven
levels of speed RPM according to the detected system temperature.
 Zoning
o This system support feature dividing disk drives into two or three different
groups depending on the system preference. Each group can own users-
configurable number of HDDs independently. This feature enables single JBOD to
serve multiple hosts.
 Cascading
o There are cascading ports for cascading another JBOD system to expand disk
space when more space is required

RJ-460-08 User Guide PAGE 5 OF 35
2.3 SAS Topology
Tree topology reduces the number of cascade levels (or hops), avoiding or reducing the unfair
arbitration that can affect the far-end devices in cascade topology. RJ-460-08 uses tree
topology to reduce the number of cascade levels, avoiding or reducing the unfair arbitration.
There are 3 expanders to extend the number of devices in a SAS domain. Bridge expander is the
root and two edge expanders cascaded. Figure 2 depicts the topology.
FIGURE 2 RJ-460-08 SAS TOPOLOGY
RJ-460-08 can support path redundancy applications. It constructs path-redundant topologies
using multi-ported devices as the Figure 3 illustrates. This topology is suitable for high-
availability systems since it can fail over to a different path when one path fails.

RJ-460-08 User Guide PAGE 6 OF 35
FIGURE 3 REDUNDANT SAS SYSTEM
RJ-460-08 system is a 60-bays redundant JBOD system. There is a SAS-3 path-redundancy
topology and is suitable for high availability system. Each SAS-3 domain has three expanders.
One is called bridge expander and the others are called edge expander. HDD bay 1~24 are
controlled by edge1, 25~48 are controlled by egde2 and 49~60 are controlled by bridge. Bridge
expander connects both edges (downstream) and RAID or HBA card (upstream from host side).
Figure 4 and 5 show examples of the RAID application view with 7 HDDs case. RJ460BridgeP
expander has slot56, slot57 SATA SSD hard disks installed. RJ460Edge2P expander has slot32
SAS, slot42 SATA SSD hard disks installed. RJ460Edge1P expander has slot3 SATA SSD, slot17
SAS, slot20 SATA SSD hard disks installed.

- no arguments, output local expander date/time and uptime
- 'set <newdate(*)>' Set local expander date/time using format for <newdate> of
YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
- 'send [sas_addr]' If sas_addr set then set the remote expander's clock using the
local expander's current clock value. If sas_addr not specified then set clock
for all expanders in the domain.
- 'recv [sas_addr]' If sas_addr set then fetch the remote expander's current clock
and output the result. If sas_addr not specified then get and output the current
clock for all expanders in the domain.
