ProLiant CL380 Shared Storage Area
The system shared storage drive cage area supports up to six 1-inch Wide
Ultra2 or Ultra3 SCSI drives. Figure 1-10 illustrates the position of each drive
bay in the shared storage drive cage. When optional shared external storage is
connected to the system, the system supports up to fourteen 1-inch Wide
Ultra2 or Ultra3 SCSI drives.
IMPORTANT:
The total number of shared storage drives that the system can support is
limited to 14. This limitation is due to the number of available SCSI IDs and may not
reflect the number of drive bays available if external storage is connected to the system.
NOTE:
The Integrated Smart Array Controller is compatible with your existing SCSI
devices. Wide Ultra2 SCSI technology works with devices that respond to transfer rates of
up to 80 MB/s. When combining Ultra2 and Ultra3 hard drives, all of the drives are limited
to response times no faster than the maximum burst rate of up to 80 MB/s on the Ultra2
SCSI bus, or the transfer rate of the slowest device in the array.
