PFR600 Series components
The PFR600 Series components are:
• The chassis with passive midplane board
• One or two RAID controllers (not present in expansion units)
• One or two Loop Bypass Boards
• As many as ten Fibre Channel disk drives per chassis
• Two power supplies
• Two fan modules
The disk drives, power supplies, and fan modules are hot-swappable field replaceable
units (FRUs), which means you can add or replace them while the PFR600 Series is
powered up.
IMPORTANT: You must not hot swap operational devices such as disk drives
without first disabling the target component using the Grass Valley Disk Utility.
An optional second RAID Controller Module in the PFR600 Series, allows for
continued access to the PFR600 Series if the primary RAID Controller fails. Adding
a second RAID Controller to the same chassis is not intended to increase performance,
but rather to add redundancy
. Refer to your Profile XP PVS Series Installation Guide
for detailed connection and configuration instructions.
NOTE: Hot swapping disk drives may occasionally cause a slight interruption in
record or play operations.
The following figure shows the RAID Storage Chassis components. Details on each
component follow the figure.
