RA4000 Array
The RA4000 Array is one shared storage solution for the PDC/O2000. Each
redundant Fibre Channel Fabric or redundant FC-AL supports one or more
RA4000 Arrays. Each RA4000 Array contains two single-port RA4000 Array
Controllers. Each array controller connects the RA4000 Array to one Storage
Hub, FC-AL Switch, or Fibre Channel SAN Switch.
The RA4000 Array can hold up to twelve 1-inch or eight 1.6-inch Wide-Ultra
SCSI drives. The drives must be mounted on Compaq hot-pluggable drive
trays. SCSI IDs are assigned automatically according to their drive location,
allowing 1-inch and 1.6-inch drives to be intermixed within the same RA4000
Array.
The RA4000 Array comes in either a rack-mountable or a tower model.
For more information about the RA4000 Array, refer to the Compaq
StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 User Guide.

more RA4100 Arrays. Each RA4100 Array contains two single-port RA4000
Array Controllers. Each array controller connects the RA4100 Array to one
Storage Hub, FC-AL Switch, or Fibre Channel SAN Switch.
The RA4100 Array can hold up to twelve 1-inch Compaq Hot Plug Ultra2
Disk Drives. The drives must be mounted on Compaq hot-pluggable drive
trays. SCSI IDs are assigned automatically according to their drive location.
