UltraSCSI RAID Enclosure Glossary–17

UltraSCSI RAID subsystem

One or more UltraSCSI RAID enclosures mounted in either a

pedestal or a cabinet. Each subsystem requires a master enclosure.

Adding one or two expansion enclosures to any single-enclosure

subsystem creates an expanded subsystem.

VHDCI

Very high density cable interconnect. A 68-pin interface cable with

connectors on 0.8 mm centers. Required for UltraSCSI operation.

warm swap

A method of device replacement whereby the complete system

remains online during device removal or insertion. During device

insertion or removal, the bus might halt for a brief period of time.

System booting or code loading cannot occur until insertion of the

replacement device. There is no noticeable impact on user

applications that are not dependent upon the devices on the affected

SCSI bus.
