The NetBackup 5230 appliance add-in cards are available in five configurations.
Several configurations include at least one FC HBA card for VMware, Optimized
Deduplication over FC, or tape library connectivity.
In some configurations the FC HBA cards are installed into some of the PCIe slots.
If the cards are installed in slots 5 and 6, the configuration supports Fibre Transport
media server (FTMS) mode. Port 1 of each card is configured in Target mode (1)
as shown. Port 2 is configured in Initiator mode (2). Only configurations D and E
support FTMS.

About the mainboard RAID controller
The SAS RAID controller in the appliance is an Intel RMS25CB080 card. The
controller is preinstalled at the factory, on the mainboard of the appliance. This
controller is also known as the
internal
controller. The SAS RAID controller that is
installed in the PCIe riser slot is known as the
external

The mainboard RAID controller includes a maintenance-free backup unit (MFBU)
with a super-capacitor and flash memory. The parameters that are associated with
the controller are as follows:
■
Dimensions - 2.713 in x 6.600 in (6.891 cm x 16.764 cm) (low-profile). The card
is full height and low profile.
■
Operating voltage - +3.3 V +/-8%, +12 V +/-8%
■
PCI power (nominal) - 9W typical, airflow minimum 200 LFM
■
Environmental humidity - 0°C to 50°C; 5% to 90% non-condensing, operating
■
