General Description
CAUTION: The InfoStation contains NO USER SERVICEABLE parts inside the unit. Refer ALL
servicing to qualified service personnel!
This unit has more than one power supply cord. Disconnect two power supply
cords before servicing to avoid electric shock.
NOTES: The installation, configuration, and use of the StorCase InfoStation chassis
requires a certain level of expertise and experience on the part of the user/
integrator. Since there are many configuration options and variables (ie. host
platforms, applications, etc), only general/typical configuration guidelines will
be discussed in this User's Guide.
For installation information, refer to the InfoStation Installation Guide.
The high performance InfoStation 10-bay SCSI-to-SATA and FC-to-SATA RAID enclosures
are designed to support 2.5" SFF (Small Form-Factor) SATA drives for RAID applications. The
SCSI-to-SATA enclosures (P/Ns S10H111 & S10H117) support dual SCSI Ultra320 host
channels and is downward-compatible with earlier SCSI Wide Single-Ended or LVD interface
technologies (i.e. Ultra2 or Ultra). The FC-to-SATA enclosures (P/Ns S10K108 & S10K111)
support dual Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loops (FC-ALs) with 2Gbps operation.
Each standard 1U rack mount 10-bay chassis comes equipped with a RAID controller and (10)
removable drive carriers. These enclosures are constructed of corrosion-resistant steel and
each include (2) hot-swappable, redundant 300W power supply modules and (2) hot-
swappable, redundant, variable-speed fan modules (53.6 CFM total).
The RAID chassis supports RAID levels 0, 1, 0+1, 3, 5, 30, and 50, and is OS independent. Online
Capacity Expansion (OCE) and LUN support, up to 1GB DDR PC2100 SODIMM cache memory,
as well as automatic hot swap, hot spare and drive rebuild support are all included. An audible
alarm on the InfoStation alerts the User to system hardware failures and warning conditions.
LED indicators at each drive bay provide additional User feedback for drive activity, drive
readiness and drive faults.
