Overview:
HP MSA2 / MSA2000 controller enclosures and large form factor expansion enclosures
accept unique HP SAS disk drive modules with different firmware and
different trays than other HP storage arrays and Proliant servers. The
disk drives have SAS interposers attached to the back which convert the
native dual port SAS interface to an SCA-40 connector. While this SCA-40
connector has the same shape as a Fibre Channel (FC) connector – the
drives are NOT utilizing the FC protocol. If you look closely at the
interposer – the circuitry is rather simplistic and no bridge /
translator chip is attached. The interposer is – more or less – acting
as a signal filter and port relocator to connect to the MSA2s
proprietary backplane.
