General Description
CAUTION: The InfoStation contains NO USER SERVICEABLE parts inside the unit. Refer
ALL servicing to qualified service personnel!
VHDCI connectors are easily damaged by improper handling. Visually inspect
each connector for bent contacts and carefully align prior to insertion.
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.
Daisy-chaining requires the optional SCSI I/O Repeater Module(s). Refer to
Appendix B for further information.
The StorCase ® Technology InfoStation ® 4-bay expansion chassis is designed to support
the latest high-density, high-speed SCSI disk drive technologies. The InfoStation is de-
signed to support 3.5" form factor, half-height (up to 1.6" high) SCSI Ultra320 devices.
The InfoStation's dual backplane design can accommodate up to four (4) half-height, single-
connect SCA SCSI devices (Figure 1). Each chassis is constructed of rugged steel, lightweight
aluminum and plastic, and is equipped with one (1) 250W auto-switching power supply and
one (1) high-pressure, self-adjusting blower (39.5 CFM).
The InfoStation SCSI backplane comes standard with one (1) or two (2) Ultra320 channel
interfaces. InfoStation can also be uniquely daisy-chained for Ultra1320 operation (optional
Ultra320 I/O repeater modules are required), supporting up to fifteen (15) devices per channel
(refer to Appendix B for further information on optional InfoStation accessories).
A SAF-TE Processor Board (factory-installed) is also available as an InfoStation upgrade
option. Refer to Appendix B for further information on optional InfoStation accessories.
