Using a modular approach supported by redundant features and hot swapping capabilities,
the InfoStation will provide continued data availability and allow for ease of maintenance and
minimal system down time.
The modular and scalable design of the InfoStation chassis also allows a variety of future
product upgrades to be offered. Upgrade modules (such as SNMP) are anticipated InfoStation
options.
This User's Guide describes the steps required for installing drive(s) into the InfoStation
external expansion chassis. This guide is intended to supplement documentation provided with
