About the PFC500/E

This chapter introduces the Profile XP Fibre Channel RAID Storage Chassis. Topics
are :

• PFC500/E components

• Enclosure

• RAID Controllers (RCs)

• Disk modules

• Power supplies

• Drive fan pack

• Configurations

The PFC 500 is an intelligent, highly available, high performance, high capacity
storage system that uses a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) as its interconnect
interface. Its modular, scalable design provides additional disk storage as your needs
increase.

Using its FC-AL interface, with simple FC-AL serial cabling, an PFC500 can support
up to two PFC500E RAID Expansion Chassis. A PFC500E is a basic chassis without
a RAID controller (RC). The PFC 500 and two PFC 500Es support up to 30 disk
modules in a single disk-array storage system. You can place the PFC 500Es in the
same cabinet as the PFC500, in a separate cabinet, or in two separate cabinets.

An PFC500 connects to a Profile XP Media Platform using the server’s Fibre Channel
Disk adapter (FC adapter).

Throughout this manual, the term PFC 500/E is used to refer to either the PFC500 or
the PFC500E interchangeably.
