RAID Controller Circuit Boards
This section gives a brief description of the three RAID
controller circuit boards: Controller, I/O, and Ethernet.
Controller Circuit
Board
The controller circuit board oversees and regulates the flow
of data from a host through the I/O circuit board to the disk
arrays in the 2Gb SANbloc enclosure. The controller circuit
board performs these operations with a proprietary archi-
tecture, using the following components:
•
Main microprocessor and companion chip
•
Control-store memory
•
Memory Controller/Hardware XOR Engine ASIC (XOR ASIC)
•
Flash PROM
•
Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM)
•
Dual universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (DUART)
•
Fibre Channel I/O processors
