Chapter 2: System controller
The storage systems are equipped with dual controllers for communicating with a data
host.
Each controller includes the following internal components such as a processor, dual in-
line cache memory modules (DIMMs), cache ash memory (CFM), battery, and fans. The
controller has an Ethernet connection for out-of-band management using Hitachi Device
Manager - Storage Navigator. If the data path through one controller fails, all drives
remain available to data hosts using a redundant data path through the other controller.
The controller is equipped with LED indicators for monitoring its operating conditions
and notifying possible component replacement.
