Features of the RAID Controller include:

•Main processor coupled with a companion chip

•Proprietary XOR engine ASIC that provides data processing XOR function and data cache SDRAM control

•Four 2Gb-capable fibre protocol chips for the device and host ports

•Dual internal 528 MB/s, 64-bit, 66 MHz PCI buses

•Separate memory areas for processor and user data

•Scalable data cache memory: 128, 256, 512 MB DIMMs

•128 KB NVRAM configuration memory

•Real Time Clock

•4 MB Flash PROM

•Transparent failover/failback with multiple target ID support

The I/O circuit board includes a Battery Backup Unit (BBU) that maintains memory content in case of AC power failure. Power for the BBU is provided by a battery pack mounted in the fan module of the enclosure.

Controller Circuit Board

This section gives a brief description of the three RAID controller circuit boards: Controller, I/O, and Ethernet.

The controller circuit board oversees and regulates the flow of data from a host through the I/O circuit board to the disk arrays in the 2Gb SANbloc enclosure. The controller circuit board performs these operations with a proprietary archi- tecture, using the following components:

•Main microprocessor and companion chip

•Control-store memory

•Memory Controller/Hardware XOR Engine ASIC (XOR ASIC)

•Flash PROM

•Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM)

•Dual universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (DUART)

•Fibre Channel I/O processors
