2.0 Product Description
The StorageWorks pedestal expansion option (Figure 1-1) is designed to expand
the storage capacity of the RAID Array 3000 subsystem. When connected to the
RAID Array 3000 base pedestal, the expansion option contains the basic compo-
nents required to create a dual-pedestal storage array with a 16-bit, single-ended
Ultra-SCSI bus. The option enables a user to add up to seven 3½-inch SBBs to
create a 14-device storage array. The expanded array is controlled and operated
in an identical fashion as the base RAID Array 3000 subsystem.
