the firmware, and protect data until it can be written safely to the hard disk drives. The MD3200's

architecture is designed to excel in multi-host systems environments. Its I/O system core provides built-in

hardware XOR for high-speed RAID parity calculations – enabling it to easily handle very compute-intensive

tasks. Each RAID controller contains 2GB of cache for a total of 4GB of cache in a dual controller

configuration which is mirrored with the other controller's cache for high availability. In the event of a

power failure, the controllers are protected with battery assisted persistent cache backup which destages

cache to non-volatile media for indefinite safe keeping.

Each controller has a 36-port 6 Gb/s SAS expander that provides access to the drives in the MD3200 or

MD3220 enclosure. The SAS expanders enable each controller to access all of the drive ports,

active/active drives loops that provide both controllers redundant access to all attached disk drives.

Each controller has the following external connections:

•

Four 6Gb SAS ports for host connectivity

•

One 6 Gb/s SAS port for drive enclosure expansion for additional capacity

•

One Ethernet management ports for LAN out-of-band management

•

One PS/2 serial interface for service
