Introduction
Voyager 3000 Family
The Voyager 3000 is a cost effective open architecture RAID solution. All Voyager 3000
systems include 8MB EDO cache memory, redundant power supplies (PSUs) and dual
advanced cooling modules (ACM’s) per shelf as standard. The Voyager 3000 series is
available in tower, rackmount and fault tolerant solutions

. The model number and
descriptions are shown in Table 1-1, Table 1-2 and Table 1-3. The XX suffix refers to the host
connection and a key is shown in Table 1-4. The “Y” suffix refers to the power supply voltage
where a value of “1” is the 110V option and a value of “2” is the 220/240V option.
Components such as disk drives, power supplies and controllers are housed in easily
removable canisters which make up the base building blocks of the system. A shelf consists of
nine bays housing nine of these canisters. A shelf is mounted vertically in the single and dual
tower configurations and horizontally in the case of rackmounted systems.
The Voyager 3000 includes an integrated RAID controller which is independent of the host
system and only requires a host SCSI bus for connectivity.
The Voyager 3000 tower configurations are:
