NOTE! The term hot pluggable refers to modules that can be replaced while the host and storage system are operating, without disrupting their operation. Not all modules are hot pluggable, and some modules require the use of command line utilities before the module is removed, and after the module is replaced. The storage systems do not support installation of additional disk modules or DDS tape modules while the host and storage system are operating.
Fan Modules
The storage system is shipped with two fan modules, which provide redundant cooling. If one fan fails, the remaining fan will provide enough cooling capacity for the storage system. Fan modules are hot pluggable. Failed fan modules should be replaced as soon as possible.
Power Modules
The storage system is shipped with one power module. Two power modules provide redundant power for the storage system. If one power module fails, the storage system continues operating on one power module. If two power modules are used, both share the load. Power modules are hot pluggable.
Disk Modules
The storage system can contain any combination of
