Product Overview
The HP A3311A deskside, HP A3312A field rackmount, and HP A3312AZ factory rackmount high

single-ended and differential storage modules can reside within the same storage system on independent
buses. The HP A3312A can be installed into a 1.1-meter, 1.6-meter, or 2.0-meter EIA cabinet.
