I. Introduction • 1-3. Features AR1000 is a RAID subsystem configured on the DA3000 RAID controller, which supports up to 5 drive channels accommodating many hard drives configurations for optimal fault tolerance and performance. The following are highlights to this system’s many features. For additional features and details, read the user’s manual of the RAID controller included with this...

Maximum uptime in a system requires devices that can be easily replaced or “swapped.” The main hard drives are mounted in internal hot-swap trays for easy replacement. The AR1000 hot-swap bay has two different models: Five-tray hot-swap bay and three-tray hot-swap bay. The 1.0 inch SCA hot-swap bay can accommodate five 1.0 inch hard disk drives.
To remove the hot-swap bay, first release the front cooling fans first by pressing the eject mechanism with a small screwdriver. Remove the six retaining screws as circled above and then the entire hot-swap bay can be slid out of the chassis. AR1000 RAID Subsystem Hardware Reference Guide...
Hard Disk Drive Message Board (LEDs) IMPORTANT Usually, the rotation of the fan sends air toward the manufacturer’s label on the center of the fan. If replacing the fans, be sure that the fans are orientated as shown. AR1000 RAID Subsystem Hardware Reference Guide...

Terminating the SCSI bus “chain” is necessary for SCSI devices to work properly. Therefore, every SCSI connector on the DA-BP5 SCSI backplane should either connect to a SCSI device or be terminated with an Ultra2 SCSI terminator as shown below. AR1000 RAID Subsystem Hardware Reference Guide...
2 is reserved. • With this configuration, Channel 0 (the drive channel) can connect up to 10 physical drives. • Disk drives connecting to the two DA-BP5 SCSI backplanes must have different SCSI IDs. AR1000 RAID Subsystem Hardware Reference Guide...
• Disk drives connecting to the two DA-BP5 SCSI backplanes may have identical or different SCSI IDs. NOTE Read the DA3000 User’s Manual for how to switch a drive channel to a host channel. AR1000 RAID Subsystem Hardware Reference Guide...
The top SCSI backplane is terminated. The bottom SCSI backplane is terminated. IMPORTANT • This setting allows the connection of multiple AR1000 RAID systems or other SCSI devices. Channel 0 is assigned to the host channel while Channel 1 and Channel 2 are assigned to the drive channels.
Remove the side panel and then push the power unit out of the chassis. NOTE The alarm will sound if any of the power supply unit is not turned on before the system is powered on. AR1000 RAID Subsystem Hardware Reference Guide...
3. Reinsert the failed power module and plug in the AC cord to confirm. 4. If the alarm sounds again, remove the failed power module and replace it with a good one as soon as possible. AR1000 RAID Subsystem Hardware Reference Guide...
The power system meets all applicable clauses for UL 1950 2nd edition with- out D3 deviations. The power system passes all tests for CUL and TUV safety. The power system, operating with resistive load, meets FCC class B and CISPR 22 class B conducted limits. AR1000 RAID Subsystem Hardware Reference Guide...
