• Supported features vary between S3200 and S2200 as noted herein and within related documents.
The S3200/S2200 enclosures are designed to meet MIL-STD-810G (storage requirements) and European
Telco requirements. The S3200/S2200 storage enclosures support a large form factor (LFF 12-disk) 2U
chassis and a small form factor (SFF 24-disk) 2U chassis. These chassis form factors support controller
enclosures and expansion enclosures.
The S3200/S2200 controller enclosures can optionally be cabled to supported drive enclosures for
adding storage. S3200/S2200 storage enclosures can be equipped with single or dual RAID canisters;
and they are equipped with two AC power supply modules.
Storage S3200/S2200 enclosures support virtual storage, which uses paged-storage technology. For
virtual storage, a group of disks with an assigned RAID level is called a disk group.
IMPORTANT: These Lenovo Storage products are not intended to connect directly to Public Switched
Telecommunications Networks.
