If I would like to cascade the JBOD, what components do I need? 

A: You will need a SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 SAS cable, which meets T10 standard. And the length 

we suggest less than 3M to reach the best performance. 

 

16.

 

If I only have an internal RAID controller card, and I would like to expand the capacity, how to 

add more disks? 

A: IW-RJ series JBOD is for this purpose. If your RAID controller card does not have external 

connecting port, you can use a SFF-8643 to SFF-8644 adaptor cable to connect the JBOB 

enclosure. 

 

Section 4: Others 

17.

 

Why PSU has two modules? What are these two modules for? 

A: Two PSU modules are for redundancy, if you need this function, PSU with two modules is 

required. 

 

18.

 

Can I add or reduce the quantity of fans? 

A: The quantity of fan is related to the radiating efficiency. Usually, the quantity of fans depends 

on the system loading and the heat generation. Unless you have tested, or we strong 

recommend not to change the default fans quantity. 

 

19.

 

Which parts support hot-swap feature. 

A: IW-RS storage server: Fans, PSU, HDD 

IW-RJ JBOD enclosure: Fans, PSU, Expander Modules, HDD 

 

20.

 

Can 12Gb SAS ports compatible with 6Gb SAS or 6Gb SATA ports? Any adaptor can convert? 

A: 12Gb SAS does not align with 6Gb SAS, so In Win does not have adaptor for this case. 

 

21.

 

If the arm or handle is broken, how can I fix or replace it? 

A: Please contact your local In Win partner, or support contact for replacing and repair service.
