Lenovo Storage E1012 and E1024 Disk Expansion
Enclosures
Product Guide
The Lenovo Storage E1012 and E1024 Disk Expansion Enclosures offer universal storage expansion
capabilities that are designed to provide simplicity, speed, scalability, security, and high availability for
small to large businesses. The E1012 and E1024 deliver enterprise-class storage technology in a cost-
effective solution with flexible drive configurations and RAID or JBOD (non-RAID) host connectivity or
Lenovo storage area network (SAN) array expansion.
The E1012 and E1024 expansion units are designed for a wide range of workloads, including big data and
analytics, video surveillance, media streaming, private clouds, file and print serving, e-mail and
collaboration, and databases.

Connectivity topology
The E1012 and E1024 support single and dual expansion module configurations. Standard models of the
E1012 and E1024 ship with one or two expansion modules (see Table 2). Single module configurations can
be upgraded to dual module configurations non-disruptively.
Each expansion module has two 6 Gb SAS x4 ports (Mini-SAS SFF-8088 connectors) labeled IN and OUT.
These ports are used for connections to a supported RAID adapter installed in a server and for daisy
chaining the E1012 and E1024 enclosures between each other. The external port on the RAID controller is
connected to the IN port on the expansion module, and the OUT port on the expansion module is
connected to the IN port on the expansion module in the adjacent enclosure and so on.
Lenovo Storage E1012 and E1024 Disk Expansion Enclosures 6

Single I/O module configurations can be used with a supported RAID adapter or HBA. In this topology,
each port on the adapter is connected to a separate chain of single I/O expansion enclosures, as illustrated
in the following figure.
Figure 5. Single I/O module connectivity topology
Dual I/O module configurations can be used with 2-port RAID adapters for high availability and
performance. In this topology, each port on the RAID adapter is connected to a different I/O module chain
within the same chain of dual I/O enclosures.
Dual I/O connectivity topology without enclosure redundancy is shown in the following figure.
