Port1 - Port4

These represent the RocketRAID 2340’s 4 Mini-SAS SATA connectors. Each of
these 4 connector’s hosts up to 4 SATA disks, for a total of 16 hard disk drives.
These disks are referred to as “Port” or channels 1-16.

J3, J4, J7, J8, J10-13

LED connectors (disk-activity/disk-failure): Each Mini-SAS port utilizes two of these
connectors. J3, 4, 7, and 8 are for use with hard disk failure LED’s, while J10-13
provides disk activity LED support. LED support is discussed in greater detail in the
LED Connection section (page 2-2), and in a separate document, the RocketRAID
LED guide (which discusses LED installation for specific server chassis, and will be
available in downloadable form from our website).
