Other information

- One channel supports up to 15 disk drives
- LVDS support for up to 80MBps and cable lengths up to 25M
- EDO Cache
- I2O support
- Hot-swap PCI support
- Year 2000 ready
- 50MHz RISC processor
- ServeRAID software contained on CD-ROM
- Bootable CD-ROM support
- One VHDCI .8mm external connector
- One internal, industry standard, 68-pin connector
- One RAID channel

ServeRAID functions:
- Changing from RAID 0 to RAID 5, or vice versa, without requiring the data to be restored from a backup source.
- Expanding the array by adding up to three physical drives at a time.
- Logical drive size can be increased or left unchanged.
- If left unchanged, additional logical drives can be defined.
- Changing the RAID level on-the-fly from RAID 0 to RAID 5 by adding a drive, or RAID 5 to RAID 0 by removing a drive.
- Changing a two disk drive RAID 1 to RAID 5, on-the-fly, by adding one physical drive.
- Concurrent I/O support allowing logical drives to be accessed by users during LDM.
- Degraded mode support allowing a logical drive in critical mode not to affect LDM if already in progress, or preventing LDM start if the drive is in critical model prior to start of LDM.
- Power failure recovery allowing LDM activity recovery even after a power disruption.
- Hot-swap rebuild automatically starts rebuilding a replaced disk drive without operator intervention.
- Data scrubbing periodically scans disk services and automatically repairs bad sectors on the disk array to enhance data integrity.
- One step array initialization and synchronization reduces the time to prepare a new RAID 5 array to accept data.
- Auto synchronization automatically initializes drives without user intervention.
