About the Sun StorEdge 6130 Storage Array Hardware
The Sun StorEdge 6130 array is a modular storage device that can contain up to 14 disk drives. A maximum of eight arrays, one controller tray and seven expansion trays, can be installed in the Sun StorEdge Expansion cabinet, Sun Fire cabinet, and Sun Rack 900/1000 cabinets.
For redundant power, each array has two power supplies, each with its own battery backup system. In a total power failure, each array has sufficient power from the batteries to shut down in an orderly fashion. In addition, each disk drive has array information that is mirrored across all drives for redundancy so that data can be recovered from any functional drive.
The array includes the following components:
- Power supplies - The two power supplies are housed in removable components. The power supplies convert incoming AC power to DC power. They are hot swappable and provide redundancy. It takes one power supply to power a fully loaded chassis.
- Fan assembly - Each array has two removable fan components, each containing two fans. The fans draw ambient air into the chassis through the front intake vents and push the air out the vents on the back of each fan. The fans provide redundant cooling, which means that if one of the fans in either component fails, the remaining fans will continue to provide sufficient cooling to operate the array. The fan assembly is hot-swappable from the rear of the array chassis.
