Specifications

RAID controllers and cache memory

  • Dual independent controllers, each with environment management coprocessor for out-of-band remote management and monitoring

  • 512MB of cache per controller (1GB total)

  • Cache Backup Battery Modules (sold separately) for over 72 hours of memory protection

RAID operation

  • Support for RAID levels: 0, 1, 3, 5, 0+1,10, 30, 50 (10, 30 and 50 require host-based software RAID)

  • Support for multiple RAID sets, multiple hosts and LUN masking and mapping

  • Background RAID set creation; automatic variable background rebuilding; online expansion; LUN slicing; global drive hot sparing (per RAID controller) (2)

Fibre Channel storage-to-host connection

  • Dual 2Gb Fibre Channel ports (SFP), 200MB/s throughput per channel with guaranteed delivery (400MB/s full duplex) (3)

  • Host connectivity using 2Gb Apple Fibre Channel PCI-X Card or Apple Fibre Channel PCI Express Card (cards sold separately) or compatible third-party PCI card

  • Support for point-to-point, loop and fabric (switched) topologies

  • Dual 10/100BASE-T Ethernet for remote management

Apple Fibre Channel PCI Express Card (sold separately)

  • Dual-channel 2Gb Fibre Channel PCI Express Bus Adapter

  • Runs at full bandwidth in a four-lane or eight-lane PCI Express slot on the new Power Mac G5; not compatible with PCI or PCI-X

  • Two 2.9-meter Fibre Channel copper cables with embedded SFP transceivers; compatible with SFP fiber-optic cables and transceivers

Apple Fibre Channel PCI-X Card (sold separately)

  • 64-bit, 133MHz card with two SFP 2Gb Fibre Channel ports; compatible with 32-bit, 66MHz PCI slots and 64-bit, 100 MHz or 133 MHz PCI-X slots

  • Two 2.9-meter Fibre Channel copper cables with embedded SFP transceivers; compatible with SFP fiber-optic cables and transceivers

Supported SFP Types

Short-Haul Transceiver (supports up to 500m with 50/125 m MMF)

  • Finisar FTRJ-8519-P1BNL

  • Pico Light PL-XPL-VE-S24-11

  • Pico Light PL-XPL-VC-S23-11

  • JDS Uniphase JSM-21S0AA1

  • JDS Uniphase JSP-21S0AA1

Long-Haul Transceiver (supports up to 10km with 9/125 m SMF)

  • Finisar FTRJ-1319-P1BTL

Cooling

  • Redundant hot-swap cooling modules with self-regulating speeds and front-to-back cooling

  • Environmental monitoring system for automatically maintaining optimal ambient temperature

Electrical requirements

  • Redundant load-sharing hot-swap power supplies (450W); universal input (100V to 240V AC), power factor corrected

  • Maximum input current: 7.6A (100V to 127V) or 3.6A (200V to 240V)

  • Power usage: 300W typical continuous power, 400W maximum continuous power

  • Dual DB-9 serial ports for UPS systems

  • Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz, single phase

Environmental requirements

  • Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)

  • Storage temperature: -40° to 116° F ( -40° to 47° C)

  • Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing

  • Maximum thermal output: 1365 BTUs per hour

  • Maximum altitude: 10,000 feet

  • FCC Class A approved

Size and weight

  • 3U rack-optimized: 5.25 inches (13.3 cm) high by 17 inches (43.2 cm) wide by 18.4 inches (46.7 cm) deep

  • Fits EIA-310-D-compliant industry-standard 19-inch-wide four-post racks from 24 to 36 inches deep; deeper racks require third-party extender

  • 60-100 pounds (27-45 kg), depending on configuration (4)

  1. For hard drive capacity measurements, 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.

  2. Automatic rebuild requires a designated hot spare; not available for RAID level 0.

  3. Actual rates will vary depending on configuration and RAID level.

  4. Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.
