1. Touring the Chassis
This chapter discusses the product configurations, and the controls and
connectors visible from the front and rear of the Vault L storage box.
Configurations
The Vault L is available in two configurations:
• differential (which supports differential SCSI drives)
• mixed-channel (which supports both single-ended and differential
SCSI drives)
Note:
The “Rear View Components” section tells you how to distinguish
between a differential and mixed-channel Vault L storage box.
The Vault L operates with 8- and 16-bit differential drives and also 8-bit
single-ended drives on the mixed-channel version. However, the Vault L
does not support RAID (random array of inexpensive drive) devices and
also does not currently support 16-bit, single-ended drives.
Warning:
This equipment is extremely sensitive and is susceptible to
damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD is an electrical
discharge (spark) caused by the buildup of electrostatic potential on
clothing and other materials.
