26 Product Overview
power-on self-test, the self-test will halt until the battery is charged to a
minimum operating level.
Battery Life.
Many factors affect battery life, including length of storage time,
length of operating time, storage temperature, and operating temperature. A
battery should be replaced if the BATTERY LEDs or the software indicate a
battery has diminished storage capacity.
GBIC (VA 7100 Only)
A Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) is connected to the HOST FC connector
on the VA 7100 array controller card. It functions as a fiber optic transceiver,
converting data from an electrical to an optical signal in transmit mode, or
from an optical signal to an electrical signal in receive mode. On the
VA 7400/7410 array controller card, GBIC circuitry is integrated.
Array Controller Filler Panel
An array controller filler panel is used to fill an empty slot in place of an array
controller. A filler panel must be installed to maintain proper airflow in the
array enclosure.
Caution
Do not operate the array for more than 5 minutes with an array
controller or filler panel removed. Either an array controller or a
filler panel must be installed in the slot to maintain proper
airflow in the array enclosure. If necessary, the foam in the
replacement array controller packaging can be used to
temporarily fill the array controller slot.
Disk Drives
Both the controller and disk enclosures contain disk drives. Disk drives, or
“disks”, provide the storage medium for the virtual array. Four types of native
Fibre Channel disk drives are supported in the array; disk capacities can be
homogeneous, or can be mixed within the array:
—
18 GB 15K rpm
—
36 GB 10K rpm
—
36 GB 15K rpm
—
73 GB 10K rpm
—
73 GB 15K rpm (VA 7110 and VA 7410 only)
—
146 GB 10K rpm (VA 7110 and VA 7410 only)
