RAID Application

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive/Independent Disks. The ACP-7000
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 the ACP-7000. Please note the length limitation of the
SCSI RAID controller - the maximum length of your RAID controller must be less than
240 mm (See Figure 5.7)
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 chassis cover and 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 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 controller to implement your RAID system.
