SAF - T E

The DEU is designed to be compliant with SAF-TE (SCSI Accessed Fault-Tolerant Enclosure) specification version 1.0. Under this specification, the enclosure is implemented as an assignable SCSI target ID. This allows standardized alert detection and status reporting using the SCSI bus as the underlying transport mechanism.

Disk drives, power supplies, cooling fans and temperature are continually monitored and these conditions are then reported over the SCSI bus to the host system. When used in conjunction with RAID management software, the DEU can alert the user or LAN administrator of impending or imminent conditions requiring their attention. These alert notifications can be made via network broadcast or electronic pages, in addition to the LEDs and Operator Control Panel alerts found on the DEU. This allows the administrator to react to conditions that could normally go unnoticed until data loss.
