• Comprehensive, Centralized Management Capability
The controller provides a wide range of management capabilities: Configuration Management,
Performance Management, Logical Unit Number (LUN) Management, Security Administration,
and Firmware Update Management.
• Management Options via RS-232 and Ethernet (Telnet)
A RS-232 port and Ethernet port are included to provide local and remote management capabilities.
SNMP is also supported.
• Data Security with Dual-Level Protection
Non-host based data security is maintained with scalable security features including restricted
management access, dual-level protection, and authentication against authorized listing (up to 256
direct host logins per host port are supported). No security software is required on the host
computers.
• Storage Virtualization and Pooling
Storage pooling enables different types of storage to be aggregated into a single logical storage
resource from which virtual volumes can be served up to multi-vendor host computers. Up to 1024
LUNs are supported.
• SES (SCSI Enclosure Services) Support for Enclosure Monitoring
Status information on the condition of enclosure, disk drives, power supplies, and cooling systems
are obtained via the SES interface.
• Absolute Data Integrity and Availability
Automatic drive failure recovery procedures are transparent to users.
• Hot-Swapable and Redundant Components
The controller utilizes redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and a hot swappable fan module
that contains redundant cooling fans.
1.2 The Controller Hardware

• A chassis enclosure (with a minimum of 2.56 GB cache memory)
• 10 SAS connectors that connect the controller to the drive enclosures
