Chapter 2. Architecture and technical overview

If you want to expand the storage capability of the server, you need to add an EXP24S
expansion drawer using a PCIe SAS adapter. This expansion drawer handles further SFF
HDDs and SSDs. For more information about the EXP24S expansion drawer, see 2.12.1,
“EXP24S SFF Gen2-bay Drawer” on page 69.
2.10.6 Media drives
A slimline media bay is included with all of the controller options on the Power E850C server.
This bay can hold the optional DVD-RAM drive (#5771). If using one of the two dual controller
options, both integrated controllers can access the DVD device if fitted. If using the split disk
backplane option, only one controller can access the DVD. This is the controller that has
access to the top disks in the system.
A DVD drive can be included in the system. It is then available to perform operating system
installation, maintenance, problem determination, and service actions, such as maintaining
system firmware and I/O microcode at their latest levels. Alternatively, the system must be
attached to a network with software such as AIX Network Installation Management (NIM) or
Linux Install Manager to perform these functions.
The Power E850C supports the RDX USB External Docking Station for Removable Disk
Cartridge (#EUA4). The USB External Docking Station accommodates RDX removable disk
cartridge of any capacity. The disks are in a protective rugged cartridge enclosure that plug
into the docking station. The docking station holds one removable rugged disk drive/cartridge
at a time. The rugged removable disk cartridge and docking station backs up similar to tape
drive. This can be an excellent alternative to DAT72, DAT160, 8 mm, and VXA-2 and VXA-320
tapes.
