RAID cage (optional)
The RAID cage is a reliable, fault tolerant network storage solution that
supports RAID levels 0, 1, and 5 and accommodates up to three 1.6-inch
high 3.5-inch SCA-2 SCSI drives. For optimum operation, use only
approved, RAID-Ready drives with the RAID cage.
The RAID cage allows you to easily configure a reliable RAID subsystem.
Drives are mounted on a rail system, which provides quick and easy
installation, as well as hot-swapping capability. A fully functional RAID
subsystem is controlled by a Caching Controller.
Hot-swapping is a feature that allows you to replace failed hard disk drives
without interrupting system operation. In the event of a hot-swappable drive
failure, which is part of a RAID 5, the system continues normal operations.
You can replace the failed drive, and the system rebuilds its contents
automatically on an equivalent replacement drive, without interrupting the
operation of the system.
Warning!
The top cover must be
closed and secured while
the system is running.
