ACS-8990/89200/89230 User's Manual
This manual covers three models: ACS-8990, ACS-89200 and ACS-89230.
Where references are made to ACS-8990, they should be taken as applying to
all three models. The three models differ in the maximum number of hard
disks they support::
ACS-8990 – 16 disks
ACS-89230 – 12 disks
ACS-89200 – 8 disks
ACS-8990 is available in two configurations differing in their host interfaces:
SCSI (host) to Serial ATA (disk)
Fibre (host) to Serial ATA (disk)
This manual contains the information necessary to set up both configurations.
Where procedures for the two configurations differ, they are described
separately and clearly marked.
