1.1.1 Introduction
This hardware manual briefly introduces the Galaxy RAID serial ATA (SATA)
RAID subsystem series. The SATA-based RAID subsystems come with two
320MB/second SCSI (SCSI-320) host channels and provide RAID protection to the
data stored in the eight (8) or twelve (12) hot-swappable, SATA-II hard drives. The
2U-profile subsystems are equipped with redundant and hot-swappable cooling fan
and power supply modules to reduce the chance of downtime by component failure.
The modular nature of the subsystem and the easy accessibility to all major
components ensure the ease of subsystem maintenance. The differences between the
two models will be described in the following sections
The 12-bay and 8-bay subsystems are shown below:
