changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance

could void your authority to operate the equipment.

1.2

Safety Precautions

Precautions and Instructions

•

Prior to powering on the subsystem, ensure that the correct power range is being used.

The RAID subsystems come with drive bays. Leaving any of these drive bays empty will

seriously affect the efficiency of the airflow within the enclosure, and will consequently

lead to the system overheating, which can cause irreparable damage.

If a module fails, leave it in place until you have a replacement unit and you are ready to

replace it.

•

Airflow Consideration: The subsystem requires an airflow clearance, especially at the

front and the rear side.

Handle subsystem modules using the retention screws, extraction levers, and the metal

frames/faceplates. Avoid touching PCB boards and connector pins.

To comply with safety, emission, or thermal requirements, none of the covers or replace-

able modules should be removed. Make sure that during operation, all enclosure modules

and covers are securely in place.

•

Be sure that the rack cabinet into which the subsystem chassis will be installed provides

sufficient ventilation channels and airflow circulation around the subsystem.

Provide a soft, clean surface to place your subsystem on before working on it. Servicing

on a rough surface may damage the exterior of the chassis.

If it is necessary to transport the subsystem, repackage all disk drives separately. If using

the original package material, other replaceable modules can stay within the enclosure.

ESD Precautions

Observe all conventional anti-ESD methods while handling system modules. The use of a

grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad are recommended. Avoid dust or debris in

your work area.

Introduction

This manual covers the DVA-08K series of RAID subsystems.

With its basic hardware redundancy and the capability of fast I/O transfer, the 2U RAID SATA

subsystem is an ideal solution to meet the ever increasing demands for addition of storage

capacity. Despite its ease of use, the subsystem does not compromise data protection for

convenience. The subsystem’s embedded firmware offers the same protection and mainte-

nance functionalities as those designed for an enterprise-level RAID solution. The subsystems

provide unprecedented configuration flexibility and allow for the customization of storage

subsystems to meet specific demands. It is a rigorous and durable subsystem that can be eas-

ily configured and operated.

Fully featured RAID redundancy (which provides advanced data protection) ensures that the

complete range of RAID levels (RAID 0, 1(0+1), 3, 5, 10, 30 and 50) is supported by the con-

troller head. A long list of sophisticated firmware functions (dedicated/global hot-spares, bat-

tery protected disk cache, configurable reaction schemes against drive errors, remote and

real-time array monitoring, and more) further guarantees the overall availability of valuable

data.

IT managers using the RAID subsystems will be able to rapidly develop a comprehensive stor-

age array. And the modular nature of the subsystem minimizes the maintenance effort to use

the RAID appliance.

2.1

Product Overview

The subsystem comes with two (2) SCSI-320 host channels interfaced through four (4) VHDCI

68-pin SCSI ports. The subsystem comes in a 2U-profile rack-mountable chassis which houses

a RAID controller module featuring complete RAID configuration and data protection function-

ality. The subsystem’s operation is protected by redundant, hot-swappable power supplies

and cooling fan modules. Designed for a high level availability, all major components are hot-

replaceable including its Li-ION battery and the RAID-protected disk drives.

The subsystem supports high-density array capacity by its eight drive bays for SATA-II inter-

face disk drives. The subsystem facilitates large I/O transfer, over its dual PCI-X buses archi-

tecture, and transmission of block I/Os over flexible caching and a dedicated XOR engine. The

subsystem is ideal for direct-attached data storage, backup, and retrieval. It combines the

capabilities and block-level performance of RAID storage with the reliable SCSI transfer tech-

nologies.

Configured arrays are easily combined with multiple ID/LUNs that appear to the host ports,

turning massive capacity into manageable units for data-sharing in a heterogeneous environ-

ment.

The RAID 2U-profile, SCSI-to-SATA RAID storage comes in two different models. The only dif-

ference between the two models is the number of SATA-II drive bays.

SCSI Host Ports

Connectivity: The subsystem features a 320MB/s bandwidth from each of its SCSI host chan-

nels. The dual-stack VHDCI connectors on the rear panel facilitate the connection to multiple

host computers and combining the storage capacities of multiple RAID subsystems. Its back-

ward compatibility with older SCSI protocols requires minimum investment for upgrading

equipment. Storage volumes are associated with SCSI ID/LUNs on the host channels. The

subsystem firmware provides flexible configurations of storage volumes which include, logical

drives in supported RAID 0, 1 (0+1), 3, and 5 levels, logical volumes that consist of one or

more logical drives, and the logical partitions of the previously mentioned configurations.

These volumes then appear as SCSI targets over the host links.

en | Introduction

RAID Subsystem DVA-08K | Installation Manual

Channels: The SCSI ID/LUN mapping method enables users to associate a storage volume

with multiple IDs or LUNs on the host channels. The mapping method can easily cope with

host-side configurations such as clustered servers or high availability path redundancy. On the

drive side, all of the eight (8) SATA-II drives are connected each through a dedicated SATA

channel. Each drive channel is routed to an enclosure drive tray that is equipped with a stan-

dard SATA connector with of hot-swap capability. The methods used for assembling physical

drives, fault management, and status monitoring are identical to that used with Bosch’s long

line of RAID storage enclosures.

Active Components

The subsystem comes with:

•

A single RAID controller module

Two redundant, hot-swappable cooling modules

Dual redundant, hot-swappable, load-sharing power supplies

A module slot for a Li-ION battery module.

The front section of the enclosure houses eight (8) hot-swap drive bays for SATA-II or

backward compatible with SATA-I hard disk drives.

The subsystem is shown below:

•

BBU module: A BBU provides the protective implementation to cached data; and, unless

deselected when purchasing the subsystems, is installed into the module slot located at

the upper left corner of the controller module.

Cooling fan module: The redundant cooling fan module is used to ventilate the subsystem

and to reduce the temperature within the subsystem.

NOTICE!

Each of the power supplies on the sides of the enclosure houses one cooling fan module in a

removeable canister. When a power supply is removed, the cooling module is also removed.

Therefore, replace the power supply unit as soon as possible whenever it becomes necessary.

Cooling fan modules can be independently removed from the chassis without affecting PSU

operation.
