The TX16 SAS interface supports up to 32 Terabytes (TB) of disk storage designed for Post Production and Content Creation applications. The TX16 product is supported as direct attached server on Windows®, Linux and Macintosh operating systems out of the box. TerraBlock expansion is supported with Windows® 7 64Bit version. Features The Facilis TX16 SAS storage enclosure is a sixteen-drive array supporting RAID Level 5 SATA drives. The TX16 ships with 2 Terabyte (TB) capacity drives and provides capacity up to 32 Terabytes (TB) of expandable or raw storage in a single enclosure. TerraBlock Expansion Storage The TX16 is also designed to be expansion or “add-on” storage to an existing TerraBlock 24D or fully populated TerraBlock 24EX. The Facilis TX16 SAS chassis is connected via the ATTO SAS H680 Host Bus Adapter (HBA) controller board. Once installed, the TerraBlock server active drive set is expanded to include the TX16. Once attached to the TerraBlock server, the TX16 will be seen as usable storage via the TerraBlock Managers user interface. Virtual volumes can be created with raid protection using the TerraBlock servers DynaRaid functionality (see TerraBlock User Guide for creating and managing virtual volumes). Direct Attached The TX16 can also be used as direct attached client storage. It comes “turn-key” pre-configured for direct attached use. The RAID set has already been built with factory presets. Some client configuration is required. The ATTO Configuration Tool allows both easy configuration and access to detailed operational information about the Facilis TX16 SAS. The Facilis TX16 SAS is powered by the ATTO SAS RAID R680 Host Bus Adapter (HBA) controller board. Once installed in your Windows, Macintosh, or Linux workstation in a PCI Express (PCIe®) slot, the RAID controller board provides SAS connectivity and RAID functionality. The Facilis TX16 SAS storage is pre-configured RAID level 5 out of the box. RAID level 6 is supported as well, but will require recreating the RAID set (see Appendix A). In a Facilis TX16 SAS storage 16-drive system, if a drive fails, the TX16 storage can automatically begin the rebuild process once a new drive is installed into the enclosure. 6 Hardware Components Kit Depending on the TX16 SAS enclosure application (direct attached or expansion) hardware components will slightly differ. Each Facilis TX16 enclosure kit contains: • TX16 enclosure with eight (16) SATA Disk drives • 1 Spare drive • ATTO R680 ExpressSAS RAID PCIe HBA (direct attached) • ATTO H680 HBA (expansion) • 1 MiniSAS cable (three meter length) • 2 Power cords • USB Key with Drivers, Documentation, and Utilities such as the ATTO Configuration Tool for easy configuration. Hardware The TX16 SAS chassis contains available slots for 16 hard drives. The drives are delivered pre-configured in drive sled carriers for easy installation. The chassis functionality as well as status indicators are detailed below: Front Panel 1 2 3 4 1. Power on/off – Use to power the enclosure on/off. Toggle the switch to the left to power on the unit. 7 2. Drive LED Indicators – There are 16 total LED indicators, one for each hard drive. The LED will be solid green when the unit and hard drive is powered on. The LED’s are dual sensing and will blink with an amber color when activity (reads and writes) take place on the drive(s). 3. Temp and Fan LED Indicators – The temp and fan LED’s will be illuminated “solid” red when the box is powered and operating properly. If the box is to overheat or a fan should fail, the red illuminated LED will begin flashing accompanied with an audible alarm that will “BEEP” approx. once a second. 4. Temp and Fan Alarm Silencer – In the case where the temp or fan alarms are activated and the red LED’s are blinking, the audible “BEEPING” alarm can be silenced by toggle this switch. The switch is spring loaded and will return to its original position. Rear Panel 1 2 3 1. Power Supplies – There are two power supplies in the center of the rear panel of the TX16.
