RAID Controller Modules

RAID controller modules provide high-performance, advanced virtual disk configuration, and fault- tolerant disk subsystem management. Each RAID controller module contains 4 GB of mirrored cache for high availability and is protected by a battery powered cache offload mechanism.

NOTE: 8 GB mirrored cache is an optional feature.

RAID controller modules provide the following data path and enclosure management functions:

Monitoring and controlling enclosure environment elements (temperature, fans, power supplies, and enclosure LEDs)

Controlling access to the physical disks

Communicating enclosure attributes and states to the host server and management station
