Expansion Pedestal Option
This chapter describes the major features of the expansion pedestal option and
how to connect the option to your RAID Array 3000 storage subsystem.
Product Description
The StorageWorks pedestal expansion option is designed to expand the storage
capacity of the RAID Array 3000 subsystem (Figure 4–1). When connected to
the RAID Array 3000 base pedestal, the expansion option contains the basic
components required to create a dual-pedestal storage array with a 16-bit,
single-ended Ultra SCSI bus. The option enables a user to add up to seven
3½-in SBBs to create a 14-device storage array. The expanded array is
controlled and operated in an identical fashion as the base RAID Array 3000
subsystem.
