HP STORAGEWORKS MSA50 - Manual (Page 3)

Auto SAS ID Selection SAS ID is automatically set when a drive is inserted into a drive bay (See drawing on top of unit
for bay numbering).
LED Indicators Front panel LEDs indicate drive activity, required drive service, and power, giving a quick visual
assessment of overall system storage status.
Rack Density The MSA50 Enclosure has a 1U height.
Environment
Monitoring Unit (EMU) Each MSA50 model is equipped with an EMU that constantly monitors the enclosure, the power
supplies, and fans to ensure suggested operating tolerances are maintained.
I/O Module The single I/O module installed allows one SAS controller to access all drives in the MSA50.
Fault Tolerance With redundant power supplies and fans, the MSA50 provides a high level of system availability.
Using an internal host based controller, the MSA50 can be configured for RAID levels 0, 1, 1 + 0,
5, 6 (RAID ADG) when using a HP Smart Array RAID controller.
Manageability The MSA50 is managed by HP Systems Insight Manager.
