Specications
This appendix contains the technical specications for the SCv3000 and SCv3020 storage system.
Technical Specications
The technical specications of the SCv3000 and SCv3020 storage systems are displayed in the following tables.
Drives
SAS hard drives
SCv3000 Up to 16 3.5-in. hot-swappable hard drives (12 Gb SAS)
SCv3020 Up to 30 2.5-in. SAS hot-swappable hard drives (12 Gb SAS)
Storage Controllers
Storage controllers
Up to two hot-swappable storage controllers with one I/O card slot and one
optional mezzanine card per storage controller.
Each storage controller has an internal battery backup unit. Write cache is
mirrored between the two storage controllers. If a power failure occurs, the
battery backup unit provides power to the storage controller so that the write
cache can be saved to an SSD within the storage controller.
