Disk drives
DAE2P/DAE3P Fibre Channel disk drives conform to FC-AL
specifications and 2 or 4 Gb Fibre Channel interface standards. SATA
disk drives conform to Serial ATA II Electrical Specification 1.0 and
include dual-port SATA interconnects; a paddle card on each drive
provides a 4 Gb Fibre Channel connection for the module.
The 4 Gb drives in a DAE2P will operate at 2 Gb; a DAE3P supports 2
Gb drives only if the entire back-end bus that contains the drives is operating
at 2 Gb. The disk module slots in the enclosure accommodate 1 inch
(2.54 cm) by 3.5 inch (8.75 cm) disk drives.
