A3312A HASS Array Disk Cases Needed

Ted Ellis_2 — Tue, 17 Oct 2000 16:36:01 GMT

I have 13 4 or 9 Gb Seagate Barracuda drives. I'd like to use them in several A3312A HASS enclosures that have available slots, but I do not have the disk cases that match the enclosure slots. Does anyone know where I can find the SCSI disk cases necessary to let me use these disks in the enclosure?

Hi,

think there is no chance to get this work because the disks inside the cases have a different connector which supplies scsi AND power AND scsi-id settings.
So if you get anywhere a case you have much problems to connect your disk drives to that connector.

Regards

I may be able to find you a part number but before I look I need the exact Seagate part numbers of the drives. The drives would have to have SCA connectors not SCSI and power as that is the only header board (goes from the back of the disk drive to the connector on the back of the module) available. NO SCA connector then forget it.

Thanks for the replies. I guess the drives will go unused here for the moment. Never had the chance to tinker with one. When I get the chance, I'll take one apart and learn some. I don't need any further support on this
