1 Introduction

The NetServer Storage System/6 provides external mass storage for use with the current line of HP NetServers. The NetServer Storage System/6 is compatible with the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI-2) industry standard. Both Fast and Fast-Wide SCSI-2 are supported. The embedded SCSI controllers in NetServers, SCSI host bus adapters (HBA) or Disk Array Controllers (DAC) provide the SCSI interface between the host system and the storage system. DACs and HBAs are available from Hewlett-Packard (check with your dealer). The NetServers, HBAs and DACs include software that supports a variety of operating systems.

The chassis contains horizontal mass storage shelves called SCSI device shelves in the upper area of the chassis and a hot-swap subsystem with six hot-swap shelves in two cages in the lower area. The SCSI device shelves support SCSI devices, such as tape drives. The hot-swap shelves support SCA-2 hot-swap disk modules provided by HP.

The SCSI connectors on the rear panel connect the storage system to the host system. The SCSI bus terminates inside the storage system cabinet. A power supply and the internal cabling necessary for most configurations are included in the storage system.

The NetServer Storage System/6 can be configured to solve a variety of storage problems. The disk modules are available in a variety of capacities to meet your mass storage needs. Mass storage devices and external SCSI cables are not included with the storage system. They must be ordered separately from your HP dealer.
