About the CX200-Series DPE2
Storage Processors
The SP is the CX200’s intelligent component. It combines the
functions of a typical storage processor circuit board and a disk
enclosure link control card into a single module.
Full high availability with write caching requires two storage processors.
The CX200-Series SP has the following ports:
◆
COM 1 serial port
◆
COM 2 serial SPS port for communication with the standby
power supply in a standard CX200 system
◆
Network port for storage-system management
◆
One high speed serial data connector (HSSDC) back-end (BE)
port for the FC-AL loop to the disks in a DAE2 (not supported in
CX200LC systems)
◆
Two fibre-optic front-end (FE) connectors, for connecting to the
external Fibre Channel environment (switch or host).
Figure 1-7 shows the SP front panel, with connectors and status
LEDs.
