Solving problems
The EXP2500 provides high-capacity, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), nearline SAS, or
Solid State disk storage. The EXP2512 supports up to 12 SAS or nearline SAS
hard disk drives and the EXP2524 supports up to 24 SAS, nearline SAS, or Solid
State hard disk drives. The EXP2500 delivers fast, high-volume data transfer,
retrieval, and storage functions among multiple drives. The EXP2500 is designed
for continuous, reliable service; the modular, redundant hard disk drives and power
supplies (with fans) use hot-swap technology for easy replacement without turning
off the EXP2500.
The EXP2500 comes with two 800-watt ac power supplies, one environmental
services module (ESM), a filler panel to cover the empty ESM bay, and 12 or 24
drive filler panels, depending on the storage enclosure model. The drive filler panels
can be replaced with optional hard disk drives.
If firmware and documentation updates are available, you can download them from
the IBM support website. The EXP2500 might have features that are not described
in the documentation that comes with the unit, and the documentation might be
updated occasionally to include information about those features, or technical
updates might be available to provide additional information that is not included in
the EXP2500 documentation.
Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM website. Procedures for locating
firmware and documentation might vary slightly from what is described in this
document.

updates, click Downloads. For documentation updates, click Documentation.
The EXP2500 comes with a limited warranty. For more information about the terms
of your warranty, see the Warranty and Support Information document that comes
