5.5Connecting Cables

Connect the HDD and system with the following cables. See Section 4.3 for further details of the requirements for the HDD connector positions and connecting cables.

Power cable

SCSI cable

External operator panel cable (if required for NP model)

The general procedures and notes on connecting cables are described below. Especially, pay attention to the inserting orientation of each cable connector.

CAUTION

Damage

1.Make sure that system power is off before connecting or disconnecting cables.

2.Do not connect or disconnect cables when power is on. (except NC model)

a)Connect power cable.

b)Connect the external operator panel (if required for NP model).

c)Connect the SCSI cable.

d)Fix the cables so that they do not touch the DE and PCAs, or so that the smooth flow of the cooling air in the system cabinet is assured.

CAUTION

Damage

1.Be careful of the insertion orientations of the SCSI connectors. With the system in which terminating resistor power is supplied via the SCSI cable, if the power is turned on, the overcurrent protection fuse of the terminating resistor power supplier may be blown or the cable may be burnt if overcurrent protection is not provided.

When the recommended parts listed in Table 4.2 are used, inserting the cables in the wrong orientation can be prevented.

2.To connect SCSI devices, be careful of the connection position of the cable. Check that the SCSI device with the terminating resistor is the last device connected to the cable.

MAW3147NC/NP, MAW3073NC/NP, MAW3300NC/NP specifications

Fujitsu has established itself as a key player in the world of hard disk drives, and their MAW3073NC/NP, MAW3300NC/NP, and MAW3147NC/NP models showcase exemplary engineering and innovative technology. These drives are designed primarily for enterprise applications, providing robust performance, reliability, and data integrity in demanding environments.

One of the standout features of the Fujitsu MAW series is its high storage capacity. The MAW3073NC/NP model comes with a generous 73 GB capacity, while the MAW3300NC/NP boasts 300 GB, and the MAW3147NC/NP offers 147 GB of storage. This range makes them suitable for various applications, from databases to data-intensive software.

The drives utilize the latest Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which ensures high speed and efficiency in data transfer. SAS technology provides better bandwidth and performance compared to older parallel SCSI interfaces, enabling faster access to data and improved overall system responsiveness. With rotational speeds of 10,000 RPM, these drives further enhance performance, enabling faster read and write times, which is critical for enterprise applications that require quick data retrieval.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Fujitsu MAW series is their advanced error recovery and data integrity features. The drives are equipped with sophisticated error correction mechanisms and management systems that help maintain data integrity, ensuring that the data remains intact even in the event of power loss or system failure. This reliability is paramount for enterprise environments where data loss can result in significant operational disruptions.

In terms of physical design, these drives are built to endure the rigors of high-demand environments. They feature a robust construction that allows for efficient heat dissipation, minimizing the risks associated with overheating. Additionally, their form factor is designed for easy integration into various server and storage systems, making them versatile solutions for IT infrastructure.

Fujitsu's commitment to sustainability is also evident in the MAW series with their energy-efficient operation and reduced power consumption, contributing to decreased overall operational costs. With a combination of high performance, reliability, and sustainability, the Fujitsu MAW3073NC/NP, MAW3300NC/NP, and MAW3147NC/NP hard drives stand out as formidable choices for organizations looking to optimize their data storage solutions. They embody the cutting-edge technology and quality that Fujitsu is known for in the enterprise storage market.
