General information
LocalView module (alphanumeric system display)
The LocalView module provides an alphanumeric display of system information
and hardware errors. It is an intelligent module with a micro controller and its
own memory that can run independently of the attached server system.
The LocalView module includes the LCD panel and the toggle switch, both of
which are integrated in a peripheral bay. The mechanism used allows the
module to be pulled out and opened with ease. The LocalView module is
installed in a free 5.25 inch server slot.
A description of the indicators and how to use LocalView can be found in the
"Diagnostics" module of the Service Manual.
Hard disk drives
The server has two drive cages, each of which can accommodate up to six
ULTRA320-SCSI hard disk slide-in modules. Each hard disk module can
accommodate a SCSI hard disk drive with an SCA (Single Connector
Attachment) interface and a maximum height of 1. The module is connected to
the SCSI backplane without cables via the SCA interface. This allows hard disk
modules to be simply plugged in or pulled out.
The hard disk drive system is designed for Ultra3 SCSI and can be configured
as a dual-channel system with three hard disk drives each or as a single-
channel system with six hard disk drives. The hard disk drives can be controlled
by the onboard controller or by a plug-in RAID controller.
If the server has a RAID controller and a corresponding RAID configuration,
defective hard disk modules can be exchanged online (hot-swap).
Accessible drives
Various mounting slots are available:
– Two 5.25 inch half-height (1.6 inch) slots for accessible drives (e.g. magnetic
tape drives)
Alternatively, these slots can be used to install a 3.2-inch-high accessible
drive.
– One slot for a 3.5 inch slimline floppy disk drive (1.44 MB) and one slot for a
slimline DVD-ROM drive.
The accessible drives integrated in the 5.25 inch slots cannot be
i
replaced online.
