1-2RAID Array 3000 Pedestal Storage Subsystem Hardware User’s Guide

The RAID Array 3000 offering also includes option kits designed to increase the storage capacity and enhance the performance of the subsystem. The first is an expansion pedestal (second enclosure) designed to increase the storage capacity of the subsystem to a maximum of 14 drives. The pedestal expansion kit option is described in detailed in Chapter 4 “Expansion Pedestal Option” of this guide.

The second option kit allows the addition of a second RAID controller to the subsystem for redundancy. The second controller operates in conjunction with the installed controller to protect data during a malfunction. Chapter 5 “Second Controller Option” describes how to install the redundant controller option and how to reconfigure the subsystem to accommodate it.

The RAID Array 3000 pedestal enclosure and its associated options are listed and described in Table 1–1. Figure 1–1 shows the pedestal with a full complement of drives (optional) for completeness.
