Each RAID controller contains three ports for Small Form-Factor Pluggable
(SFP) modules that connect to the fibre channel cables. Two of the SFP

SFP port (labelled Expansion) is used to connect additional expansion units
to the storage server.
Note: In the DS4100 single-controller storage server, the third SFP port
(labelled Expansion) is present but not active.
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 75.
Attention: You will lose access to data if you attempt to hot-swap the RAID
controller in a DS4100 single-controller storage server.
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
