Page 15: About The Pfr500/E
Chapter About the PFR500/E This chapter introduces the PFR 500 Fibre Channel RAID Storage Chassis. Topics include: • PFR500/E features • PFR500/E components • Configurations PFR500/E features The PFR 500 Fibre Channel RAID Storage Chassis is a high performance, high availability mass storage system. -
Page 16: Capacity And Redundancy
Chapter 1 About the PFR500/E Bypass Circuits along with all other active components are on redundant, separate hot swappable modules. This improves serviceability and increases fault tolerance by eliminating any single point of failure. With two RAID Controllers, the two loops within a single standard chassis are configured as a single loop with a backup loop in standby mode. - Page 17 PFR500/E components Fan Module A Chassis Power Supply A 8136-5 LBB B LBB A Fan Module B Battery Backup GBIC Unit (BBU) Power Supply B NOTE: Every PFR 500/E RAID controller includes a backup battery so that if electrical power is lost, data stored in cache memory will be saved. Data store cache is not used in the PFR 500/E, so the Battery Backup module is not used, even though it ships as part of the LBB module.

Page 18: Chassis
Chapter 1 About the PFR500/E Chassis The chassis is a sheet-metal housing which contains a passive midplane and chassis slots for the RAID Controllers, or Loop Bypass Boards, disk drives, power supplies, and the fan modules. Each chassis includes a chassis address switch on the midplane board that must be set to a unique address 0 through 9 during installation. -
Page 19: Disk Modules
Disk modules Disk modules Each disk module consists of a Fibre Channel disk drive in a carrier assembly. If a disk drive fails, and needs replacing, you can do so while the PFR500/E is powered The disk drives are 3.5-inch FC-AL drives that conform to the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) standards and support dual-port FC-AL interconnects through the two RAID controllers and their cabling. -
Page 20: Circuit Board Modules
Chapter 1 About the PFR500/E Circuit board modules There are two circuit board modules used: the Loop Bypass Board module (LBB) and the RAID Controller module.
