Expandable and flexible |
The FibreCAT SX40 SAS storage subsystem is a passive, directly connectable system for data storage or expanding the hard disk capacity of connected PRIMERGY servers. With a height of 2U, the FibreCAT SX40 subsystem meets the requirements for a compact design with high hard disk capacity in 19-inch rack infrastructures. |
The FibreCAT SX40 storage system with its SAS technology enables flexible expansion with powerful and highly available hard disks as storage requirements grow. Up to 12 SAS hard disks offer a total maximum capacity of 3.6 Tbytes in an external housing. Cascading of up to 3 FibreCAT SX40s via the second SAS x4 link permits expansion to a maximum of 10.8 Tbytes of external hard disk capacity. In the FibreCAT SX40 storage subsystem, the active components – hot-plug hard disks and hot-plug power supply modules – can be replaced while the server is running. The redundant hot-plug power supply units can be connected with phase redundancy via separate power lines. Optimum and secure cooling of the hard disks is ensured by 2 independent fans in each power supply unit.
