RAID Bay
The RAID bay is a reliable, fault tolerant network storage solution that
supports RAID levels 0, 1, and 5 and accommodates up to three 1-inch or
1.6-inch high 3.5-inch LVD SCA drives. For optimum operation, use only
approved, RAID-Ready drives with the RAID bay.
The RAID bay allows you to easily configure a reliable RAID subsystem.
Drives are mounted on a rail system, which provides quick and easy
installation, as well as hot-swapping capability. A fully functional RAID
subsystem is controlled by a Caching Controller.
Hot-swapping is a useful feature that allows you to replace failed hard disk
drives without interrupting system operation. In the event of a hot-
swappable drive failure, which is part of a RAID 5, the system continues
normal operations. The failed drive is replaced, and its contents rebuilt
automatically on an equivalent replacement drive, without interrupting the
operation of the system.
before the system boots.
