EonStor A16E-G2130-4 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual

The controller board is housed in a metal canister and is referred to as the “controller module.” The controller module is comprised of a main circuit board, an interface faceplate, and a metal canister. The controller module is accessed through the rear of the A16E-G2130-4 with the help of ejection levers. An optional battery backup unit (BBU) is now equipped with an EEPROM that helps record the installation date and notify system administrators if the battery’s life expectancy is reached. The BBU is hot swappable and is accessed through the controller’s faceplate.

Four (4) RJ-45 connectors connect the subsystem to network switches or Ethernet ports of independent devices. Dual-redundant, hot-swappable cooling modules and power supplies protect the subsystem from overheating and the down time by power outage. The modular nature of the subsystem and the easy accessibility to all major components ensure the ease of the subsystem maintenance.

NOTE:

On receiving and unpacking your subsystem, please check the package contents against the included Unpacking Checklist. If any modules are missing, please contact your vendor immediately.
