See the RA90/RA92 Disk Drive User Guide for more information. 2.7 ESE50 Solid State Disk The ESE50 solid state disk (SSD) is a member of the DIGITAL Storage Architecture/Standard Disk Interconnect (DSA/SDI(TM)) family and is, therefore, completely compatible with all DSA/SDI controllers. The ESE50 SSD is a random-access, low-latency storage device that uses dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) technology. It is contained in a half-rack enclosure identical to the RA9x disk drive. The ESE50 SSD has its own power and data retention capabilities. It connects to and operates on the SDI bus and may be used with controllers implementing this bus. The SSD operator control panel (OCP) is the same as the RA9x OCP. See the ESE50 SSD User Guide for more information. 2.8 TA8x7-Series Storage Subsystems The TA8x7-series storage subsystems consists of a magazine tape system and an SCSI/SDI adapter-interface. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ A maximum of three TA8x7 series storage subsystems can be installed in an SA900 storage array. ------------------------------------------------------------ 2.8.1 TZ857-Series Magazine Tape Subsystem The TZ857 magazine tape subsystem is an electromechanical device that uses from one to seven CompacTape III cartridges to store from 2.6 GB to 18.2 GB of data. The TZ857 magazine tape subsystem can load and unload tape cartridges to and from a tape drive for unattended backup, as well as performing single cartridge operations. The TZ857 subsystem performs automatic, sequential tape operations. In addition, the TZ857 subsystem executes operating system commands, qualifiers, and parameters to store data from user disk areas to the tape drive. See the Tx857 Series Magazine Tape Subsystem Owner 's Manual for more information. 2-2 Storage Array Descriptions 2.8.2 TZ867-Series Magazine Tape Subsystem The TZ867 magazine tape subsystem is an electromechanical device that uses from one to seven CompacTape III cartridges to store from 6 GB to 42 GB of data. The TZ867 magazine tape subsystem can load and unload tape cartridges to and from a tape drive for unattended backup, as well as performing single cartridge operations. The TZ867 subsystem performs automatic, sequential tape operations. In addition, the TZ867 subsystem executes operating system commands, qualifiers, and parameters to store data from user disk areas to the tape drive. See the Tx867 Series Magazine Tape Subsystem Owner 's Manual for more information. 2.8.3 SCSI/SDI Adapter-Interface The TZ8x7 series tape drives use Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) logic control and data signals. The adapter-interface converts information from SCSI format to SDI format and vice-versa. The external SDI cable is connected directly from either the Port A or Port B adapter-interface connector to the controller. The external interface cable is not connected to the SA900 I/O bulkhead. See the SA100 User 's Manual for more information. 2.9 Power Controller The power controller links the internal and external power sources with power cords. It controls power distribution with bus connectors, a fuse, circuit breaker, and the Bus/Off/On switch. · The 881A power controller is used for 120 Vac (60 Hz) storage arrays. · The 881B power controller is used for 240 Vac (50 Hz) storage arrays. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Some European markets use the 887B power controller which is electrically the same as the 881B although its physical configuration is slightly different. ------------------------------------------------------------ See the 881 Power Controller User Guide for more information. 2.10 Environmental Specifications The environmental specifications shown in Table 2-1 are applicable to all storage arrays.

"Add-ons" are storage devices installed in an existing storage array without changing its basic configuration. For example, you can add two RA90 disk drives to the SA600-FA storage array, creating an SA600-HA storage array, without moving existing storage devices or cables. "Upgrading" a storage array involves changing the configuration by installing enclosures in a storage array that previously had no enclosures. For example, you can add SA7x enclosures to an SA600 storage array, creating an SA650. During this procedure, storage devices already installed may have to be moved and the SDI cables and power cords rerouted. Add-ons can include one or more of the following devices: · RA9x disk drives · SA7x enclosures · ESE50 solid state disk drive · TA8x7 tape storage subsystem The term "storage devices" is the collective name for all of these devices. Specifically, this chapter explains how to perform the following: · Unpack storage devices upon delivery and pack them for shipment or storage. · Use a Digital-approved lifting device to install enclosures and large disk drives. · Install RA9x disk drives in the SA600/SA800, SA650/SA850, and SA900 storage arrays. · Install ESE50 solid state disk drives in the SA900 storage array. · Install SA7x enclosures in the SA550, SA650, SA850, and SA900 storage arrays. · Install TA8x7 storage subsystems in SA900 storage arrays. · Upgrade an SA600 or SA800 storage array to an SA650 or SA850 storage array. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 Instructions for installing RA82 disk drives are contained in the SA482 Storage Array User Guide.
