ARC-5040 8-Bay RAID - Empty Enclosure

Maximum Host Interoperability
The ARC-5040 supports multiple host interfaces; eSATA, iSCSI/AoE, USB3.0, FireWire 800 or UBS2.0 that can work currently at the same. The host interface on the system may be located either on the system board, or on a plug-in host bus adapter (HBA) card. With port multiplier SATA host, eSATA (3.0Gbps) host channel can support multiple volumes (up to 8). FireWire 800 can support up to 2 volumes. USB3.0/iSCSI/AoE and USB2.0 host channels can also support up to 8 volumes per host. Up to 16 volumes can be created on each ARC-5040 RAID subsystem. Multiple host interfaces make ARC-5040 RAID subsystem well suited for professionals who need large capacity and exceptional performance with connectivity.

Easy RAID Management
Configuration and monitoring can be managed either through the LCD control panel, RS232 port or Ethernet port. The firmware also contains an embedded terminal emulation via the RS-232 port. The firmware-embedded Web Browser-based RAID manager allows local or remote to access it from any standard internet browser via a LAN port. The RAID subsystem also supports API library for customer to write its own monitor utility. The Single Admin Portal (SAP) monitor utility can support one application to manage multiple RAID units in the network. The Disk Stress Test (DST) utility kicks out disks meeting marginal spec before the RAID unit is actually put on-line for real business. The hardware monitor can monitor subsystem environment and show the warning message.
