Page 20: Hardware Overview
FIGURE 1-1 Hardware Overview The Sun StorageTek 6140 Array is a modular storage device that can scale from one controller tray to an array with a maximum of seven trays, consisting of one controller tray and six expansion trays. Each controller or expansion tray can contain 5 to 16 disk drives, allowing the array to support up to 112 disk drives.
Page 21: Controller Tray
This section describes the main components of the Sun StorageTek 6140 Array controller and expansion trays. Controller Tray A controller tray contains two redundant array of independent disks (RAID) controllers, which operate independently and provide failover capability for the data and management paths.
