Compatibility: Netfinity EXP300 is compatible with the devices listed in the Hardware Requirements section. Limitations Half-high HDDs are not supported. Hot-swapping of HDDs is restricted to an HDD that is inactive or where a lighted fault LED is indicated. The standard Netfinity EXP300 configuration is supported as a rack-drawer and is not supported for stacking directly on top of one another. The following table illustrates maximum cable lengths for the SCSI standards that the Netfinity EXP300 will support: Cable Length Ultra2 Controller Ultra160 Controller 2 meter Ultra2 80 MB/s Ultra160 160 MB/s 4.3 meter Ultra2 80 MB/s Ultra160 160 MB/s 20 meter Ultra2 80 MB/s Ultra160 160 MB/s Planning Information Cable Orders Required: One or more external SCSI cables are required to attach Netfinity EXP300 to the host server adapter or controller. Refer to the Hardware Requirements section for those cables. Configurations: On the rear panel of Netfinity EXP300 are two electronics cards, each with a.8-mm VHDCI connector. These cards are connected to the main system electronics board. The main system electronics board interfaces with the hot-swap backplane. This design enables multiple configurations for various conventional and clustering configurations. Configuration 1 Two Independent SCSI Buses When configuring a Netfinity EXP300 with both buses independent of each other, one external SCSI cable is attached from the SCSI controller to one of the electronics cards on the back of the EXP300 storage unit. From the same or a separate server, a second external SCSI cable is attached from a SCSI controller to the other electronics card on the back of the EXP300. This configuration provides a high-availability solution for duplexing or mirroring up to seven disk drives by using a supported ServeRAID controller. Configuration 2 One Bus The Netfinity EXP300 can be configured as a single 14 drive SCSI channel. One external SCSI cable connects the SCSI controller and one of the electronic cards, located on the back of the EXP300. This configuration is used with a RAID controller to protect stored data in the event of a drive failure. Configuration 3 Twintailing with ServeRAID-4 Controllers A cluster of 13 drives on a single SCSI bus can be configured on a Netfinity EXP300 using a ServeRAID family controller. An external SCSI cable is connected between the SCSI adapter of one server and to an electronics card connector on the back of the EXP300 unit. A second external SCSI cable attaches a second ServeRAID SCSI controller installed in a second server to the other electronic card connector. This configuration shares the data storage of the EXP300 between two clustered servers. It should be used with a SCSI RAID adapter for optimum data protection. In a similar fashion 13 drives on a single SCSI bus can be supported from two ServeRAID controllers installed in the same server. Installation Time: Approximately 30 minutes per device Packaging: One box Shipment Group EXP300 storage unit Rack mounting kit Power cords (2) 2 M Ultra2 SCSI cable Installation publications and warranty information Publications Order Part Description Number Number Netfinity EXP300 HMM S10L-9845 10L9845 Security, Auditability, and Control Small Computer System Interface (SCSI), defined in the American National Institute (ANSI) standard X3.131-1986, provides a port for attachment of external devices. The SCSI bus can be internal or external to the system unit. Netfinity servers using a supported SCSI adapter, or integrated SCSI controller attached to the Netfinity EXP300, are in conformance with this standard by having external ports on both the server and the expansion storage unit. 100-099 -2-
The customer is responsible to ensure that the server and Netfinity EXP300 are secure to prevent sensitive data from being removed via the external SCSI ports. Some Netfinity servers can be secured through security cover options, while security of the Netfinity EXP300 must be maintained through the selection of a rack cabinet with appropriate security features. It is a customer s responsibility to ensure that these products are secure to prevent sensitive data from being removed. Security for both the Netfinity EXP300 can be achieved through the selection of a rack cabinet with appropriate security features. If a Netfinity EXP300 is converted to a tower configuration using the Netfinity EXP300 Rack-to-Tower Conversion Kit, it will contain a front locking door. However, the SCSI ports on the back of the chassis are still vulnerable to intrusion by unauthorized personnel unless the unit is maintained in a secure area.
