Disk modules
20 September 2002 PFR 500/E Instruction Manual 19
Disk modules
Each disk module consists of a Fibre Channel disk drive in a carrier assembly. If a
disk drive fails, and needs replacing, you can do so while the PFR500/E is powered
up. Replacement disk drives take 3-4 minutes to begin rebuild after being installed.
(See
“Removing and installing disk modules” on page 40 .)
The disk drives are 3.5-inch FC-AL drives that conform to the Fibre Channel
Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) standards and support dual-port FC-AL interconnects
through the two RAID controllers and their cabling.
CAUTION: Once the PFR500/E is installed and configured, the disk modules
become slot dependent. Moving disk modules between physical slots will result in
loss of data and the need to reconfigure the system.
