1Park the robot assembly in the control module.

a.Open the I/E station and access doors of each module.

b.Using your hands, gently lift the robot assembly into the control module. The robot assembly should glide slowly and with some resistance.

Support the robot assembly by holding onto the broad metal X-axis

CAUTION

plate. Lifting the robot by the thin metal rod will bend the rod.

 

c.After raising the robot assembly to the approximate middle of the control module, hold it in place with one hand and, using your other hand, swivel the parking tab toward you. The metal parking tab is located at the bottom of column 1.

d.Gently release the robot assembly to rest on the parking tab.

Parking tab in “parked” position

2Remove top or bottom cover plates if necessary.

There should only be one top cover and one bottom cover plate in the final configuration. There should be no cover plates in between modules.

i500 specifications

The Quantum i500 is a groundbreaking storage solution designed to meet the demands of modern data environments. It stands at the forefront of hybrid cloud architecture, providing unparalleled scalability, performance, and management capabilities. As organizations increasingly rely on data-driven insights, the i500 emerges as a pivotal tool, enabling users to store, protect, and analyze massive amounts of information efficiently.

One of the standout features of the Quantum i500 is its intelligent data management system. This technology utilizes advanced algorithms to automatically tier data between high-performance and cost-effective storage options. This ensures that critical data is always readily available, while less frequently accessed information is archived in a manner that maintains access speed and reduces costs. The i500's intelligent management not only optimizes storage usage but also simplifies administrative tasks, freeing up valuable IT resources.

Scalability is another hallmark of the Quantum i500. Organizations can start with a modest configuration and seamlessly expand their storage capacity as their data needs grow. The system can scale up to multiple petabytes of capacity, accommodating the demands of both small enterprises and large corporations. This flexibility ensures that businesses can adapt to changing data requirements without experiencing significant disruptions.

The i500 is built with robust, high-speed connectivity options. It supports various protocols, including Fibre Channel and iSCSI, enabling integration with existing infrastructure. This versatile connectivity means that businesses can incorporate the i500 into heterogeneous environments, ensuring a smooth transition and improved performance.

Additionally, the Quantum i500 is equipped with advanced data protection features. Its built-in encryption capabilities safeguard data at rest and in transit, complying with regulatory requirements and enhancing security posture. Coupled with automated backup and recovery solutions, the i500 ensures that data integrity is maintained, minimizing the risks of data loss.

In terms of performance, the Quantum i500 leverages cutting-edge SSD technology alongside traditional spinning disks. This tiered storage approach enables faster access to frequently requested data while still offering significant storage for less active datasets. The result is a system that not only delivers impressive throughput but also maintains low latency, a critical factor for applications requiring real-time data access.

In summary, the Quantum i500 represents the next generation of data storage solutions, combining intelligent management, unparalleled scalability, robust security, versatile connectivity, and high performance. It is engineered to empower organizations to harness their data, driving innovation and enabling informed decisions in an increasingly competitive landscape.
