VRA-3001T-XX-Y

The VRA-3001T-XX-Y is typically used as an entry level RAID system where a large data capacity is not required. The RAID controller is separate to the host system and is platform independent. It is mandatory that a SCSI bus is available at the host side which will connect to the host interface of the controller. A maximum external cable length between the VRA- 3001T-XX-Y and the host system is two metres in fast/wide single ended mode. Figure 1-1 shows the VRA-3001T-XX-Y configured as a single tower unit connected to a single host system.
