The HP Disk Array XP1024
Your HP Disk Array XP1024 is a high-performance disk array system. It is
used to store large quantities of data in an efficient and secure manner. The
components of the HP Disk Array XP1024 are contained in one of two
types of cabinets.
Each HP Disk Array XP1024 has one disk controller cabinet (DKC), which
contains the controller electronics for the disk array, and one to five
disk-cabinet units (DKUs), which contain the hard disk drives.
When only XP1024 DKUs are used, the disk array can have one to four
XP1024 DKUs. The figure below shows a Disk Array XP1024 with four
XP1024 DKUs.When both XP1024 and XP512 DKUs are used, the DKU
types cannot be mixed on the same side of the DKC.
