Page 13: Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction The FC2500 Series RAID Controller is a high performance fibre channel host to fibre channel disk RAID controller, providing one fibre host channel and two fibre disk channels conforming to the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) standards. The logical protocol used for both host and disk communications is 100MB/s Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) SCSI over fibre. - Page 14 provide ride-through during a power glitch; however, the BBU is capable of sustaining memory content for hours at a time. The FC2500 is capable of monitoring a customer provided UPS. The FC2500 controller fault management features are based on the SCSI-3 Enclosure Services (SES) device interface.

Page 17: Main Processor
The FC2500 RAID controller implements scalable data Memory cache memory on the controller and utilizes ECC protected SDRAM. A single DIMM location accepts Eurologic- qualified, 168-pin, 72-data bit, 100MHz, 3.3V, SDRAM DIMMs. The controller design supports memory capacities 128MB and 256MB. Cache memory is also protected by the Battery Backup Unit (BBU). -
Page 18: Led Signals
LED Signals No LEDs are provided on the controller board; however, the following LED signals drive LEDs on the controller face plate: Host Activity, Device Activity, Not Active (Amber), Active (Green), Cache Dirty, Manufacturing Diags On and Partner Fail. Memory Controller/ The FC2500 RAID Controller uses an ASCI for cache data Hardware XOR transfer, RAID XOR functional control, and other propri-... -
Page 19: Battery Backup Unit Board
Battery Backup Unit A Battery Backup Unit (BBU) maintains memory content Board in the event of an AC power failure. The main purpose of the BBU is to provide AC power glitch ride-through, however, the BBU is capable of sustaining memory content for an extended period. - Page 20 Hardware Information...
