VFS113 Rack/Desktop Model User’s Guide

The EC command, as implemented in the Chaparral router, requires no administration. Administering an EC environment is most intensive on the application side. Chaparral supports the Storage Networking Industry Association Extended Copy Specification (ANSI T10/ 99-143R1). Any questions related to using a Chaparral router in an EC environment should be directed to the application provider or your reseller. If you are developing EC enabled applications, contact Chaparral for information on our specific implementation.

You can install the unit in an industry-standard 19" cabinet using the Chaparral-supplied mounting brackets. The router can be installed in either front- mounting or rear-mounting configurations.
