Disk Array Configuration of Additional Disk Unit
The N8141-36F additional disk unit is exclusively used for installation of hard disks. The cabinet
can contain up to 14 hard disks. The server equipped with disk array controller boards can be
connected with up to two additional disk units. (See Chapter 10 or the documentation coming with
the additional disk unit for details of the additional disk units.)
IMPORTANT:
The additional disk unit does not contain hard disk drives.
Purchase the drives additionally.
To connect with additional disk unit, use the server of rack-mount
type, or use the additional disk unit of tower type (pedestal type). In
both cases, you need an optional conversion kit.
To connect the server with the N8141-36F additional disk unit, any of the following optional cables
are required:
K410-93(01) additional disk unit connecting SCSI cable
K410-93(03) additional disk unit connecting SCSI cable
K410-93(06) additional disk unit connecting SCSI cable
After the connection of the additional disk unit to the server, provide the disk array configuration for
the additional disk unit by using the Disk Array Configuration. See the manual that comes with the
disk array controller for details of the procedure.
In the disk array configuration of the additional disk unit, the auto rebuild function which the disk
array controller board has can recover the data if any one of hard disks installed in the additional
disk unit is defected to destroy data. (Replace the defected hard disk with a new one with the
power being on (hot-swap)).
