Chapter 1. Overview
The IBM Netfinity FAStT500 RAID Controller Enclosure Unit (referred to throughout
this book as controller unit) is a high-performance unit that provides dual, redundant
RAID controllers and Fibre Channel interfaces to both the host and drive channels.
Controller unit overview
The controller unit supports direct attachment of up to four hosts containing two host
adapters each, and is designed to provide maximum host- and drive-side redundancy.
Using an external hub, the controller unit can support up to 64 host adapters per controller
(up to 128 host adapters per controller unit).
Each controller unit contains several removable components, called customer replaceable
units (CRUs), that you can access from either the front or back of the unit. These CRUs
include the battery, RAID controllers, controller fan, power supplies, fan and
communications module, mini-hubs, and Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs). The
controller unit also has a removable front bezel.
