Sun StorEdge T3 Disk Tray Installation, Operation, and Service Manual • July 2000

1.1

Product Description

The Sun StorEdge T3 disk tray is a high-performance, modular, scalable storage
device that contains an internal RAID controller and nine disk drives with Fibre
Channel connectivity to the data host. Extensive reliability, availability, and
serviceability (RAS) features include redundant components, notification of failed
components, and the ability to replace components while the unit is online.

The disk tray can be used either as a standalone storage unit or as a building block,
interconnected with other Sun StorEdge T3 disk trays and configured in various
ways to provide a storage solution optimized to the host application. The disk tray
can be placed on a table top or rackmounted in a server cabinet or expansion
cabinet.

The Sun StorEdge T3 disk tray expansion unit contains the same components as the
Sun StorEdge T3 disk tray controller unit except for the internal RAID controller.
When connected to a controller unit, the expansion unit enables you to increase your
storage capacity without the cost of an additional controller. An expansion unit must
be connected to a controller unit to operate because it does not have its own
controller.
