how to install RAIDage JAGE5BT4HD-TG

Installing the RAIDage JAGE5BT4HD-TG is straightforward and designed to integrate with existing storage ecosystems. Use the steps below to set up your enclosure quickly and safely:

• Power down your host system and the enclosure before making any connections to prevent static damage or power surges.
• Connect the enclosure to your server or workstation using a compatible SFF-8644 Mini-SAS HD cable from the host controller to the enclosure’s external port.
• Install SAS/SATA drives into the four front bays, ensuring the drives are compatible with your controller and the enclosure’s specifications; securely seat each drive.
• Power on the enclosure and the host system, then access your RAID controller’s management utility to recognize the new drive set.
• Configure your desired RAID level and create a logical volume or array; initialize and format the volumes in your operating system after the controller reports the new array.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What type of drives can I use in the enclosure?

  A: The enclosure supports SAS and SATA drives that are compatible with your chosen RAID controller. Check your controller’s compatibility list for supported drive types and sizes.

• Q: Does this enclosure include a built-in RAID controller?

  A: No. The JAGE5BT4HD-TG is an external storage tower that requires a compatible RAID controller or host HBA to manage RAID configurations.

• Q: Is the enclosure OS-agnostic?

  A: External SAS/SATA enclosures generally work across operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) as long as the host controller and drivers are supported; drive visibility depends on proper RAID configuration and OS support for the logical volumes.

• Q: How many drives can be installed at once?

  A: Up to four drives can be installed simultaneously in the four bays of the enclosure.

• Q: What is the purpose of the 80mm fan?

  A: The 80mm cooling fan helps dissipate heat generated by multiple drives in continuous or demanding workloads, preserving performance and extending drive life.
