About the PFR500/E

This chapter introduces the PFR 500 Fibre Channel RAID Storage Chassis. Topics
include:

• PFR500/E features

• PFR500/E components

• Configurations

PFR500/E features

The PFR 500 Fibre Channel RAID Storage Chassis is a high performance, high
availability mass storage system. High-bandwidth storage is made possible using
Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) technology. The PFR500’s modular,
scalable design provides additional disk storage as your needs increase.

Feature highlights:

• Ten drives in a 3U vertical rack space

• No single point of failure

• All active components are hot-serviceable

• Scalable expansion using PFR500E RAID Expansion Chassis

• Optional dual RAID controllers provide Fibre Channel failover

• Copper Fibre Channel interface (GBIC)

The PFR 500 utilizes dual FC-AL technology, allowing two loop configurations
within a single chassis. Port-Bypass Circuits have been added to maintain loop
integrity during failures without user intervention. Each loop and associated Port
Bypass Circuits along with all other active components are on redundant, separate hot
