Features
System board
The features of the system board (D1501) can be found in the technical manual
of the system board for the hardware and in the „D1501 Setup Utility for
PRIMERGY TX150“ for the firmware (see “Related Publications” on page 87).
Hard disk drives
The server has a drive cage which can accommodate up to four ULTRA-320-
SCSI hard disk drive modules. Each hard disk drive module (HDD module) can
accommodate an SCSI hard disk drive with an SCA (Single Connector
Attachment) interface and a maximum height of 1 inch. The module is
connected to the SCSI backplane without cables via the SCA interface. This
allows hard disk modules to be simply plugged in or pulled out.
The hard disk drives can be controlled by the onboard controlled or by a RAID
controller. If the server has a RAID controller and a corresponding RAID config-
uration, the HDD modules can be exchanged during operation (hot-swap).
A HDD extension box can be installed optionally (with a maximum of three HDD
modules). Controlling of the hard disk drives in the extension box requires an
additional RAID controller.
SCSI controller with HostRAID functionality
For operating the four hard disks a 1-channel Ultra320 SCSI controller with
HostRAID functionality is available. In addition to the SCSI functions HostRAID
offers RAID functionality for the internal disk configuration (HostRAID: level 0, 1, 10).
I
To configure HostRAID the controller has its own RAID-Select Utility. For
further information see “Adaptec HostRAID User’s Guide“ on the
Server-
Books
CD (choose
Controllers
from the menu).
Zero Channel RAID (ZCR) controller (option)
Optionally a ZCR controller (PCI card) can be installed. In addition to RAID
levels 0, 1, 10 ZCR controller offers the possibility to configure also RAID-5 or
RAID-50. ZCR controller utilizes the onboard controller using a special
integrated logic.
