1 – RocketRAID 2224 Adapter Layout

Port1- Port4
These represent the RocketRAID 2224’s four internal SATA channels. The SATA port furthest away from
the surface of the adapter is always the odd numbered channel (1, 3), while the port closest to the adapter is
the even numbered channel (2, 4).

IB1
This represents the RR2224’s Infiniband port, which supports up to 4 hard disks installed into an external
disk enclosure (such as our X4 SATAII disk enclosure).

CON2 - CON3
LED connectors (disk-activity/disk-failure): CON2 is designed for use with hard disk activity LED’s,
while CON3 provides disk failure LED support. LED support is discussed in greater detail in the LED
Connection section (page 10), and in a separate document, the RocketRAID 2224 LED guide (which
discusses LED installation for specific server chassis, and will be available in downloadable form from our
website).

JP5 – SAF-TE for Disk Enclosures
This jumper is used to connect the RR2224 to an external disk enclosure, enabling SAF-TE (for enclosures
that support this feature) and LED support.

Speaker
Alarm (speaker): the speaker emits and audible alarm in the case of disk/array failure.
