IMPORTANT: The 2333 controller enclosures support dual-controller configuration only. Single-controller
support is provided only when a controller fails over to its partner controller (also see the “About data
protection in a single-controller storage system” topic in the RAIDar User Guide. A controller module must
be installed in each I/O module slot to ensure sufficient airflow through the enclosure during operation.
The diagrams with tables that immediately follow provide descriptions for the different controller modules
and power supply modules that can be installed into the rear panel of a 2333 controller enclosure.
Showing controller modules and power supply modules separately from the enclosure enables improved
clarity in identifying the component items called out in the diagrams and described in the tables.
A description of the optional 3130 drive enclosure — supported by 2333 controller enclosures — is also
provided. When used with a 2333, the 3130 is equipped with dual-IOMs.

Cache
To enable faster data access from disk storage, the following types of caching are performed:
Write-back or write-through caching. The controller writes user data into the cache memory in the
controller module rather than directly to the disks. Later, when the storage system is either idle or aging
— and continuing to receive new I/O data — the controller writes the data to the disks.
Read-ahead caching. The controller detects sequential data access, reads ahead into the next
sequence of data — based upon settings — and stores the data in the read-ahead cache. Then, if the
next read access is for cached data, the controller immediately loads the data into the system memory,
avoiding the latency of a disk access.
TIP: See the “About volume cache options” and “Changing system cache settings” topics in the RAIDar
User Guide for setting options.
CompactFlash
During a power loss or controller failure, data stored in cache is saved off to non-volatile memory
(CompactFlash). The data is restored to cache, and then written to disk after the issue is corrected.
CompactFlash provides unlimited cache memory backup time. To protect against writing incomplete data
to disk, the image stored on the CompactFlash is verified before committing to disk.
The CompactFlash card is located at the midplane-facing end of the controller module as shown below. Do
not remove the card; it is used for cache recovery only.
Figure 1 CompactFlash
IMPORTANT: Customer removal of CompactFlash will void the product warranty.
CompactFlash card
Controller module
16 Components
Super-capacitor pack
To protect controller module cache in case of power failure, each controller enclosure model is equipped
with super-capacitor technology, in conjunction with CompactFlash memory, built into each controller
module to provide unlimited cache memory backup time. The super-capacitor pack provides energy for
backing up unwritten data in the write cache to the CompactFlash, in the event of a power failure.
Unwritten data in CompactFlash memory is automatically committed to disk media when power is restored.
In the event of power failure, while cache is maintained by the super-capacitor pack, the Cache Status LED
flashes at a rate of 1/10 second on and 9/10 second off.

Product documentation requirements
NEBS product documentation requirements applying to AssuredSAN 2333 controller and drive enclosures
are listed beneath “NEBS (Level 3)” in the Index — under either GR-1089-CORE Issue 5 or GR-63-CORE
Issue 3 — together with adjacent page locations. NEBS topics are integrated within the overall content of
this setup guide. The requirement designators in the Index have been codified for use within index marker
tags according to the following example:
NEBS generic requirement number “R2-7 [7]” appears as “R2-7.7” within the Index.
Each codified string (e.g., R2-7.7) is followed by a hyphen and brief description of the requirement. Within
the Index, click on the blue page number link to navigate to the corresponding NEBS topic.
Connecting the controller enclosure and drive enclosures
AssuredSAN 2333 controller enclosures — available in12-drive (3.5") chassis — support up to eight
enclosures (including the controller enclosure), or a maximum of 96 disk drives. 2333 enclosures support
both straight-through and reverse SAS cabling. Reverse cabling allows any drive enclosure to fail — or be
removed — while maintaining access to other enclosures. Fault tolerance and performance requirements
determine whether to optimize the configuration for high availability or high performance when cabling.
AssuredSAN 2333 controller modules support both 3-Gbps and 6-Gbps internal disk drive speeds
together with 3-Gbps and 6-Gbps expander link speeds.
CAUTION: Some 6-Gbps disks might not consistently support a 6-Gbps transfer rate. If this happens, the
system automatically adjusts transfers to those disks to 3 Gbps, increasing reliability and reducing error
messages with little impact on system performance. This rate adjustment persists until the controller is
restarted or power-cycled.
Cabling diagrams in this section show fault-tolerant cabling patterns. Controller and expansion modules
are identified by <enclosure-ID><controller-ID>. When connecting multiple drive enclosures, use
reverse cabling to ensure the highest level of fault tolerance, enabling controllers to access remaining drive
enclosures if a drive enclosure fails.
For example, the illustration on the left in Figure 3 on page 21 shows reverse cabling, wherein
controller 0A (i.e., enclosure-ID = 0; controller-ID = Able) is connected to expansion module 1A, with a
chain of connections cascading down (blue). Controller 0B is connected to the lower expansion
module (B) of the last drive enclosure in the chain, with connections moving in the opposite direction
(green). Several cabling examples are provided on the following pages.
AssuredSAN 2333 Setup Guide 19
NOTE: AssuredSAN 2333 controller enclosures support hot-plug replacement of redundant controller modules,
fans, power supplies, and I/O modules. Hot-add of drive enclosures is also supported.
Cable requirements for drive enclosures
2333 enclosures support 6-Gbps or 3-Gbps expansion port data rates. Observe the following guidelines
when installing SAS cables (see Table 4 below):
Use only AssuredSAN or OEM-qualified SAS cables appropriate for connecting the drive enclosure:
For 6-Gbps drive enclosures, use cables providing 6-Gbps data rate per lane with four lanes (4x)
per SAS connector:
When connecting a controller enclosure to a drive enclosure, the cable length should not exceed
2.0 meters
When connecting drive enclosures to one another, cable lengths should not exceed 2.0 meters
Qualified cables of 0.6 meter length may be used for cabling stacked components in cascaded
fashion
Mini-SAS to mini-SAS cables denote SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 connectors
You may need to order additional or longer cables when reverse-cabling a fault-tolerant configuration
(see Figure 4 on page 22).
TIP: Requirements for cabling 2333 controller enclosures and supported drive enclosures are
summarized in Table 4 on page 19.
Table 4 summarizes key characteristics of controller enclosures and compatible drive (expansion)
enclosures relative to cabling, including: the cable type needed for attaching one specific enclosure
model to another specific enclosure model; internal disk drive speeds; number of disks of given size
(SFF or LFF) supported per enclosure model; and SAS expander data rates. Enclosure form factor
(2U24/2U12) and NEBS compliance information are also provided.
NOTE: Additional cabling notes:
Cables required, if not included, must be separately purchased.
Spanning a single drive enclosure requires a 0.6 m (1.97') cable.
When adding more than two drive enclosures, you may need to purchase additional 1 m or 2 m
cables:
Spanning 3, 4, or 5 drive enclosures requires 1 m (3.28') cables.
Spanning 6, 7, 8, or 9 drive enclosures requires 2 m (6.56') cables.
