SANnet II 200 FC, SATA, and SATA SE Array Installation, Operation, and Service Manual • March 2005
Caution – 
The loop ID should only be changed while the JBOD array is powered off 
or not in use. After changing the loop ID, a power cycle is required to make the ID 
switch change take effect. Failure to cycle the power following an ID switch change 
can lead to unexpected results.
4. Reattach the plastic ear cap and the bezel on the front of the chassis.

Connecting SANnet II 200 FC JBOD Arrays
You can connect a SANnet II 200 FC JBOD array directly to a host server. Use your 
standard host system disk management utilities for management of disks in a SANnet 
II 200 FC JBOD array, such as partitioning and formatting. Refer to your host system 
documentation for more information about disk management.
There are two ways to verify that you have a SANnet II 200 FC JBOD array (or 
expansion unit) rather than a SANnet II 200 FC RAID array:
Check the back panel. The back panel of the SANnet II 200 FC JBOD resembles the 
back panel shown in Figure B-2. See Figure 4-3 for an illustration of the back panel 
of the SANnet II 200 FC RAID array.
Remove the front bezel and look at the labels on the bottom lip of the chassis. If you 
have a SANnet II 200 FC JBOD array, one label contains this designation:
3510 AC JBOD (alternating current model) or 3510 DC JBOD (direct current model).

Single-Port Connection to a SANnet II 200 FC 
JBOD Array
You can connect a SANnet II 200 FC JBOD array to an FC port, a port on a single-port 
HBA, or a single port on a dual-port HBA. Figure B-2 shows an example of a SANnet 
II 200 FC JBOD array with 12 drives, connected to a host computer over a single loop 
to a single FC port. In this example, the port is one of a pair of ports on a dual-port 
HBA.
