INTRODUCTION
Host-independent
The RAID-500U3 disk array is a stand-alone subsystem. Handling the RAID-500 is as easy as handling a single SCSI HDD. It can be driver by any standard Ultra Wide/Ultra 2/ Ultra 160 SCSI adapter card, with no compatibility problems. The independent storage system provides high data availability. For multiple system host applications even if one of the system hosts failis

Hot-swap, Auto-rebuild, Hot-spare,On-line Spare
The RAID-500 Series provides several configurations designed for high data availability. The failed HDD can be hot-swapped and replaced with a new HDD. The system will dynamically reconfigure the drives and auto-rebuild the lost data in the background, with no need for rebooting.
Users can specify some of the HDDs as spare in advance, thus enabling the RAID-500 to use the spare HDDs to recover data automatically (hot-spare). Other functions include hot standby and auto drive failure detection

Real-time, remote alarm notification
The RAID-500 is equipped with an alarm for automatically detecting and notifying you of a power failure, fan failure and overheating (over 65°) within the chassis. Audible and visual alarms enable users to locate the problems immediately.
You can also set your system to send the alarm notification to a remote host, or a pager via a modem, and to provide real-time and intellingent management of the server system.

Ideal heat-dissipation disk cartridge
The disk cartridge chassis of the RAID-500 U3 being made of aluminum, does not heat up as much as other material. It delivers ideal heat-dissipation for stable operation.
