Power/Standby Switch Located at the upper right corner of the front of the disk system, the power switch (D in Figure 1) interrupts DC power from the power supplies to the BCCs and other internal components. Input AC power to the power supplies is controlled by the power cords and the AC source. High Availability High availability is a general term describing computer systems that are designed to minimize planned and unplanned downtime. The disk system supports current systems' high availability requirements through the following features: ■ Hot-pluggable, high-capacity, high-speed disks ■ Redundant, hot-pluggable, user-replaceable power supplies and BCCs ■ Online firmware upgrades ■ Hardware event monitoring and real-time error reporting Clustering (NT) The HP Disk System 2300 is Microsoft® Cluster certified for a variety of solutions. For specific information about supported configurations, see the Hewlett-Packard Company or Microsoft web pages: http://hp.com http://microsoft.com Upgradability You can increase disk system storage capacity by: ■ Replacing disk drives with higher-capacity disk drives ■ Adding disks in unused slots None of these actions require shutting down the product, but some may require the use of system utilities to manage file systems. Upgrade BCC and disk firmware using an on-line download function. See Chapter 3, Updating Firmware. 16 Product Description
