Enclosure Configuration
SR1202 enclosures are configured with one internal domain of 12 drives per SR1202 RAID Controller
Module.
Fibre Channel Interface
The SR1202 RAID Controller Module provides two Fibre Channel SFP interface connections.
The SR1202 RAID Controller Module provides bi-directional connection between the Fibre Channel
host side interface and the drives. The drives will not be presented to the Host until they are configured
and mapped by the controller.
NOTE
There are no external terminators required with Fibre Channel architecture and any drive may be hot
plugged during operation.
Each SR1202 RAID Controller Module can be connected to up to 2 independent Host Bus Adaptors
or switch ports. Some typical configurations utilizing two SR1202 RAID Controller Modules and either
one or two HBAs are shown in Figure 25 to Figure 29 inclusive.

IMPORTANT
Optical modules must be UL (or other North American NRTL) RECOGNISED COMPONENT and the
laser in the module must comply with Laser Class 1, US 21 CFR (J) and EN 60825-1.
Please contact your supplier for a list of qualified optical SFP components.
If passive copper cables are connected, the cable must not have a connection to a common ground/
earth point.
