The controller shelf can be connected to one or up to four 6-slot device
expansion shelves to form the complete RAID Array 3000 storage system (see
Figure 1– 2). The Compaq StorageWorks BA356 Series Device Expansion
Shelf (device expansion shelf) is offered as an option with a minimum of one
shelf required. It contains six SBB slots for the disk drives, two power
supplies, and a personality I/O module that connects the SCSI interface with
the controller shelf. The device expansion shelf is supported by its own user’s
guide (P/N EK–BA356–UG ) which must be used in conjunction with this
document too properly install and configure your storage system.
NOTE: The device expansion shelf (DS-SWXRA-GN) must have a revision level of B01 (or
higher) to operate with the controller shelf. Also, the Personality I/O module supplied with
the shelf (P/N. 70-33067-02) must have a minimum revision level of H01 or higher.
The controller shelf and the accompanying device expansion shelves are
installed in a standard RETMA or metric rackmount cabinet design. The
device expansion shelves are typically mounted directly above the controller
shelf in the cabinet. Each shelf is supplied with a bracket mounting kit to
secure the unit into the desired cabinet design. The bracket kit for a metric
cabinet is optional and must be ordered separately.
