Interface Cards (NIC) and cabling. DCNT supports NetBEUI, TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX network
protocols. MSCS supports the TCP/IP network protocol.
Storage Options
A variety of options are available for the StorageWorks RAID Arrays. For example, the RA450
supports a redundant HSZ50 controller, which requires additional controller software, optional cache
battery packaging, additional power supplies, and spare EMUs. These options must be purchased
separately. The only exceptions are the required rackmount mounting options, which are included in
the rackmount kits.
For information on storage options, see
Worksheet sections.
