Fibre Channel RAID controllers
The DS400 storage subsystem comes with one or two Fibre Channel RAID
controllers. Each Fibre Channel RAID controller has one 1 Gb/sec (gigabit
per second) Ethernet connector for management, two 2 Gb/sec Fibre
Channel host ports, and 12 LEDs.
If the storage subsystem comes with only one RAID controller, there is a
filler panel in the right RAID controller bay (side B). The filler panel must
remain in place to maintain proper cooling.
