Features of the BlackArmor Server
Note:
The features described in this section are shown in the graphics on page 11.
The BlackArmor server includes:
•
Four Serial ATA (SATA) disk drives that are hot-swappable (easily removable and
replaceable). The disk drives are enclosed by the server door.
•
Two Ethernet, or LAN, ports that let you access the server from your local network or over
the Internet.
The server's two LAN ports can be configured for link aggregation, which means you can
connect both LAN ports to your network at the same time for failover protection: the other link
(port) takes over if one link fails. See page 38.
Alternatively, you can use one LAN port to connect to your network and the other LAN port to
set up replication, or archive backup, where an exact copy of the data on your BlackArmor
server is created and maintained on a second BlackArmor server. See page 37.
•
Four USB ports that let you back up data directly to or from a portable USB drive, connect
a USB printer that everyone on your local network can use, or connect an Uninterruptable
Power Supply (UPS).
•
LEDs representing the ports, disk drives, and server that indicate activity and status. See
page 40.
•
LCD screen that displays current server settings and status information, including
messages that appear when an event (a problem or change in setting) occurs on the
server. Buttons beside the screen help you scroll up and down through the available
information. See page 39.
When the LEDs indicate a change in setting or status, information about this change appears
on the LCD screen.
