RAID controller
Each RAID controller contains ports for SFP modules that connect to the
Fibre Channel cables. Two of the SFP ports (Host 1 and Host 2) are for
host server attachment. On the FAStT600 Model 60U/60X, each RAID
controller also has an additional port that connects FAStT EXP drive
expansion units to the storage server.
Each RAID controller also contains a battery to maintain cache data in the
event of a power failure. For more information, see "Cache memory and
RAID controller battery" on page 54.
Hot-swap fans
The storage server has two interchangeable hot-swap and redundant fan
CRUs. Each fan CRU contains two fans. If one fan CRU fails, the second
fan CRU continues to operate. Both fan CRUs must be installed to maintain
proper cooling within the storage server, even if one fan CRU is not
operational.
Hot-swap power supplies
The storage server includes two hot-swap power supplies. Both power
supplies must be installed to maintain proper cooling.
Exception: The FAStT600 single-controller storage server (Model 6LU/6LX)
has only one power supply. To maintain proper cooling, keep the cover on
the second power supply bay.
Figure 5 on page 10 shows the ports and switches on the back of the FAStT600
dual-controller storage server (Model 60U/60X).
