About the PFR500/E

This chapter introduces the PFR 500 Fibre Channel RAID Storage Chassis. Topics 
include:

• PFR500/E features

• PFR500/E components

• Configurations

PFR500/E features

The PFR 500 Fibre Channel RAID Storage Chassis is a high performance, high 
availability mass storage system. High-bandwidth storage is made possible using 
Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) technology. The PFR500’s modular, 
scalable design provides additional disk storage as your needs increase.

Feature highlights:

• Ten drives in a 3U vertical rack space 

• No single point of failure 

• All active components are hot-serviceable 

• Scalable expansion using PFR500E RAID Expansion Chassis

• Optional dual RAID controllers provide Fibre Channel failover

• Copper Fibre Channel interface (GBIC)

The PFR 500 utilizes dual FC-AL technology, allowing two loop configurations 
within a single chassis. Port-Bypass Circuits have been added to maintain loop 
integrity during failures without user intervention. Each loop and associated Port
