2.2System Overview

All nine Flash storage modules can be quickly accessed from the front of the RamSan-500. Each module has an interlocking system with the look and feel of a typical disk drive. The Flash module can be removed while system power is on, once the module has been selected to go off-line (indicated when both module LEDs are off). Additionally, all nine Flash modules can be removed and reinstalled into another RamSan-500 unit.
