The FFx-RAID Controller Module

The module will be inserted in an individual slot on the rear of the storage
subsystem. The two modules in figure 4 on page 20 are marked (1) for the FFx-
RAID controller module 1 and (5) for the FFx-RAID controller module 0.

V

CAUTION!

In a simplex configuration the storage subsystem can be accessed only
via the FFx-RAID controller module 0
(see figure 4 on page 20).

In a dual-active configuration both FFx-RAID controller modules must have the
same size of cache memory and the same firmware version.

The module incorporates the FFx-RAID controller itself (1), the device adapter
(DA) (2) and the host adapter (HA) (3).

Figure 18: The FFx-RAID controller module

The FFx-RAID controller is a high-performance FC host to FC disk array
controller. The device adapter makes the connection between the FFx-RAID
controller and the FC hard disk drives, the host adapter the connection to the
server.
