Specifications

RAID

• Multiple arrays configurable with dedicated or global hot spares
• RAID levels supported: RAID 0, 1 (0+1), 3, 5, 10, 30, 50, and NRAID
• Online expansion by:
  • Adding new drives
  • Copying and replacing drives with drives of larger capacity
• Automatic background rebuilds
• Configurable stripe size and write policy per array
• Intelligent drive handling:
  • In degraded mode: skips irreparable blocks to continue rebuild
  • In normal operation: data-block verification and repair

Host Interface

• One (1) SCSI-320 channel through two (2) VHDCI 68-pin SCSI ports; SCSI-160 backward compatible
• Concurrent I/O commands
• Tagged command queuing up to 256
• Variable stripe size per logical drive
• Optimization setting for random or sequential I/Os

Drive Interface

• Eight (8) 3Gbps SATA-II (3Gbps) , hot-swappable drive trays that accommodate 1-inch pitch, 3.5-inch SATA-I or SATA-II (3Gbps) disk drives
• Automatic bad-sector reassignment
• Dedicated bandwidth to each connected drive

System Components

Single controller configuration provides full RAID functionalities

• One (1) tower/desktop convertible enclosure
• One (1) RAID controller module
• One (1) 128MB SDRAM DIMM module (pre-installed on the controller module)
• One (1) 250W power supply unit
• Two (2), hot-swappable, redundant, single-fan cooling modules running in high/low speeds

Management

• Front LCD control panel for setup and configuration
• 10/100 BaseT Ethernet for out-of-band management
• One (1) RS-232C serial port for local access to firmware-embedded utility
• VT-100 terminal emulation via RS-232C
• Telnet access via onboard Ethernet port
• Java-based RAIDWatch® GUI manager:
  • Cross-platform, remote administration with SSL
  • Out-of-band access via Ethernet
• Centralized management to monitor and administer multiple RAID units on one screen

• Configuration Client for real-time event notification over Email, Fax, LAN broadcast, SNMP Traps, MSN messenger, ICQ, SMS short messages, and the configuration utility screen
• SNMP agent support:
  • SNMP trap event notification with plain-text event message (no MIB file required)
  • SNMP V2.0 MIB file support with get-and-set commands

Indicators

• Onboard alarm is triggered when one of the following modules fails:
  • RAID controller module
  • Cooling module
  • Power supply unit
  • Hard drive
  • Violated temperature thresholds
• Module status LED indicators:
  • Two (2) per drive tray
  • One (1) per cooling module
  • One (1) per power supply unit
  • Three (3) per LCD panel
  • Four (4) per RAID controller module
  • Two (2) per Ethernet port

Module failure alert through I²C bus

Intelligent Drive Handling

If two bad blocks occur on two member drives of an array, the integrity of the stored data is endangered. Media Scan, Infortrend's innovative intelligent drive handling function, retrieves data from the damaged sectors. Media Scan handles low quality drives in both the degraded mode and during the rebuild process. For additional data security, other intelligent drive management features include the transparent resetting of hung hard drives, power-failure management, and bad-drive handling during LD expansion.

Task Scheduler

The Task Scheduler is combined with Media Scan so that the scanning operation can be scheduled beginning at a specified start time and repeating at the configurable intervals. The operation is thus hands free. Each such schedule can be defined to operate on individual hard drives, all drives of a certain class, all member drives of a specified logical drive, or all member drives of all logical drives.

Interfaces

• Two VHDCI (2) ports in one (1) dual-stacked VHDCI SCSI connector
• One (1) COM port (38400, n, 8, 1)
• One (1) 10/100BaseT Ethernet port

Power Supply Module

One (1) power supply with PFC

Cooling Module

Two (2) redundant single-fan cooling modules
