Product Overview

This chapter provides an overall description of the Compaq StorageWorks

TM

RAID Array 3000 Controller Shelf (controller shelf) and its components. A
series of cabling diagrams showing how to connect the controller shelf to a
host system and a list of technical and environmental specifications is also
included at the end of the chapter.

NOTE:

  This guide is the Hardware User’s Guide. For configuration information, refer to

the 

Getting Started RAID Array 3000 Installation Guide 

and the

 Command Console V2.2 for

the RAID Array 3000 (Pedestal and Rack Mount Models) User’s Guide.

Product Description

The controller shelf (Figure 1–1) is a rackmount storage system containing the
basic components required to manage a storage array with two 16-bit,
differential, UltraSCSI bus host interfaces. The devices, referred to as
StorageWorks Building Blocks (SBBs), are disk drives from the StorageWorks
family of storage devices. The release notes that accompanies the storage
system lists the software solutions and disk drives that are supported.
