Expandable Storage Plus 320 Models
DS4 and TS4
The new
EXP Plus 320 disk enclosures provide support for the latest SCSI Ultra320
technology disk drives for pSeries Servers. EXP Plus 320 offers increased
performance, as compared to prior EXP Plus models, with affordable prices for
direct attach SCSI storage needs in both RAID or non-RAID protected
configurations using the complementary pSeries host adapters. The EXP Plus 320
accommodates up to fourteen, hot-swappable IBM U320 disk drives providing over
two terabytes (TB) of storage capacity per enclosure. When attached to the
pSeries Ultra320 SCSI host adapter, the EXP Plus 320 provides throughput of up
to 320 MB per second.
Multiple configurations of the EXP Plus 320 are possible to support varied
requirements:
- Single host attachment for large capacity
needs, up to fourteen disk drives
- Dual host attachment with a single SCSI bus
for non-concurrent, high availability needs with high availability cluster
multi-processing (HACMP) failover, or
- Dual host attachment with two SCSI buses, each
bus with up to seven disk drives
There are two models of the EXP Plus 320:
- The DS4 Model, which is a 19-inch
rack-mountable enclosure, ideal for use in single and multiple server
configurations.
- The TS4 Model, which is a desk side,
self-contained, tower enclosure

Each model provides the option for a second power
supply providing for redundant power and dual power source configurations. The
DS4 model also has the option for -48 V DC power supplies suitable in Telco
industry environments.
The IBM EXP Plus 320 attaches to pSeries and select RS/6000 servers with the
following host adapters:
- PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter
(#5710, #5712)
- PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID Adapter
(#5703, #5711)
- PCI Dual Channel Ultra 3 SCSI Adapter (#6203)
- PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter (#2498)
- PCI Dual Channel Ultra 2 SCSI Adapter (#6205)
At GA support is available with pSeries servers running AIX and Linux for
pSeries. These include:
- Aix 4.3.3, 5.1, 5.2 & HACMP 4.4.1, 4.5, 5.1
- Linux on p Series: SuSE and RedHat
