Expansion Pedestal Option

This chapter describes the major features of the expansion pedestal option and how to connect the option to your RAID Array 3000 storage subsystem.

Product Description

The StorageWorks pedestal expansion option is designed to expand the storage capacity of the RAID Array 3000 subsystem (Figure 4–1). When connected to the RAID Array 3000 base pedestal, the expansion option contains the basic components required to create a dual-pedestal storage array with a 16-bit, single-ended Ultra SCSI bus. The option enables a user to add up to seven 3½-in SBBs to create a 14-device storage array. The expanded array is controlled and operated in an identical fashion as the base RAID Array 3000 subsystem.
