System Overview 1-3
This server system is designed for minimum downtime. To this end, the server includes
or has the options to include the following:
! Optional power system redundancy; in a system configured with two power supplies,
the system will continue to operate with a single power supply failure.
! Self-contained power supply units that can be easily installed or removed from the
back of the chassis.
! SCSI drive bays accessible from the front of the chassis.
! Hot-swap SCSI disk drive backplane; a failed drive can be removed and a new drive
installed without system power being turned off, if an optional Redundant Array of
Independent Disks (RAID) controller is installed.
! High degree of SCSI disk fault tolerance and advanced disk array management
features through the use of RAID technology, if an optional RAID controller is
installed.
! Chassis that supports up to two power supplies. The second power supply can be
added to provide redundant power.
