SAF-TE
SAF-TE stands for SCSI Accessed Fault-Tolerant Enclosure. The SCA backplane
with built-in GEM318 chipset supports SAF-TE. It provides a standard, non-propri-
etary way for the third party disk and RAID controllers to be fully integrated with
peripheral packing that supports status signals (LED, audible alarm, LCD, etc.), hot-
swap Ultra320 SCSI HDDs, and monitoring of enclosure components, such as disk
drives, power supplies, thermal sensors, fans, etc. For ACP-5260, the GEM318
chipset checks the disk status only, others items such as fans, temperature, power
supply and voltage are monitored by an alarm board.

RAID Application
RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks. ACP-5260 can
be integrated with a SCSI RAID card, such as AMI (LSI), Adaptec, Intel or Mylex
RAID card to perform Disk Array functions. The SCSI RAID controller is another suit-
able option to integrate with ACP-5260.
When you install an add-on SCSI RAID card or a SCSI RAID controller as a RAID
system, please follow these steps:
1.
Open the top front cover and to find the 68-pin Ultra320 SCSI connector on the
rear side of the SCSI backplane.
2.
Connect the provided Ultra320 SCSI 68-pin flat cable from the SCSI backplane
to the add-on SCSI RAID card or SCSI RAID controller.
3.
You can install up to six SCSI SCA-2 80-pin HDDs. Please follow the instruc-
tions of the SCSI RAID card or SCSI RAID controller to implement your RAID
system.
