Install Disk Drives
Before using the VTrak you must first populate it with Serial ATA (SATA) disk
drives. You can also use Parallel ATA (PATA) disk drives with the optional PATA-
to-SATA adapters available from Promise Technology. The VTrak 15200 can
support up to fifteen disk drives and provide the RAID configurations listed below.
See page 189 for a complete explanation of RAID on VTrak.
* RAID 1 logical drives work in matched pairs. VTrak
supports up to seven (7) RAID 1 logical drives.
Do not pull or push the handles on the Power Supplies or the
Controller units in order to move the VTrak. Hold the VTrak by the
housing only.
