HP StorageWorks Disk System 2100 / 2110 7 English Overview The HP StorageWorks Disk System 2100 and Disk System 2110 are 1-EIA unit disk systems capable of accommodating up to four disk modules. They are designed to provide inexpensive, high performance rack-optimized online mass storage for entrylevel configurations in three distinct markets: (1) HP servers/workstations, (2) open systems JBODs, and (3) open systems IDACs (Internal Disk Array Controller). Both units support Ultra3 (U160) drives and the new U320 drives. However, the U320 drives are supported at a maximum of 160 MB/s speeds. The Disk System 2100 does not support the U320 73-GB drive (part number A7286A) or the U320 146-GB drive (part number A7287A). For both the DS2100 and DS2110, connectivity to U320 initiators is supported if the speed of the U320 initiator is set to limit negotiations to U160 speed. The U320 drives do not operate reliably at U320 speeds and are not supported at those speeds. This is due to limitations within the controller and not the U320 drive mechanisms.

Overview
The HP StorageWorks Disk System 2100 and Disk System 2110 are 1-EIA unit disk
systems capable of accommodating up to four disk modules. They are designed to
provide inexpensive, high performance rack-optimized online mass storage for entry-
level configurations in three distinct markets: (1) HP servers/workstations, (2) open
systems JBODs, and (3) open systems IDACs (Internal Disk Array Controller).
Both units support Ultra3 (U160) drives and the new U320 drives. However, the U320
drives are supported at a maximum of 160 MB/s speeds. The Disk System 2100 does
not support the U320 73-GB drive (part number A7286A) or the U320 146-GB drive
(part number A7287A).
For both the DS2100 and DS2110, connectivity to U320 initiators is supported if the
speed of the U320 initiator is set to limit negotiations to U160 speed. The U320 drives
do not operate reliably at U320 speeds and are not supported at those speeds. This is
due to limitations within the controller and not the U320 drive mechanisms.
