Task 5: Installing Disk Drives in the Subsystem
27
Caution
VTrak supports disk drive hot-swapping. To avoid hand contact
with an electrical hazard, do not remove more than one drive
carrier a time.
Important
If your subsystem has SATA disk drives, an AAMUX adapter is
installed in the carrier with each drive.
Your VTrak subsystem has dual RAID controllers. But SATA drives
have only one data channel. The AAMUX adapter provides a
second data channel so both RAID controllers can access the
SATA drive.
Replacement AAMUX adapters are available from PROMISE
Technology.
SAS disk drives have two data channels and do not require
AAMUX adapters.
