Ethernet Connection
The ethernet connection lets you connect the SuperLoader to a network, enabling
remote administration. Via the network, the SuperLoader can access an SNMP
server and a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) time server. The ethernet
connection supports File Transfer Protocol (ftp) and Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
(http). You can download firmware updates using ftp and perform administrative
tasks, including diagnostics, using http.
SCSI Connection
The SuperLoader supports both low-voltage differential (LVD) and single ended
(SE) connections. A 68-pin VHDCI connector links the SuperLoader to the
external host server. An LVD connection allows you to have more devices and
longer cable length than single ended SCSI connections.
Manufacturing Switch
The switch on the back of the drive carrier assembly (DCA) has no user function
at this time.
