Product Description

Upgradability

You can increase disk system storage capacity by:

Replacing disk drives with higher-capacity disk drives

Adding disks in unused slots

Adding another disk system to a FC loop

None of these actions require shutting down the product, but some may require
the use of system utilities to manage file systems.

Disk and LCC firmware is downloadable using the supported tools.

Environmental Services

Environmental services circuitry monitors the following elements:

Fan rotation

Power supply output

Power supply and fan status

Disk drive status, including fault conditions

LCC status

Temperature

Self-test results

Each LCC reports the status of all elements in the disk system, even if the LCC
does not have direct access to the element.

Additionally, the EEPROM on each LCC stores 2 Kbytes of configuration
information and user-defined data, including the manufacturer serial number and
product number.
