PFR 500 RAID Storage Chassis circuit board modules
A PFR 500 includes one or two RAID Controller modules. Two RAID Controller
modules are installed when the redundant Fibre Channel option is installed. This
provides redundant Fiber Channel interface ports to the Profile system or Fibre
Channel switch fabric. The following figure shows a PFR500 Fibre Channel RAID
Storage Chassis with the two RAID Controller Modules installed. The RAID
Controllers are clearly labeled “A” or “B” on the rear panel of the canister.
