Continuous Power & Cooling
A continuous source of power and an efficient cooling system are necessary ingredients in a high-availability RAID Lite system design. The three power supplies in the RAID Lite Tower are configured in a load-sharing arrangement with sufficient air flow to cool twenty 3.5" 7200 RPM disk drives or nine 5.25" 5400 RPM drives. If a power supply does fail, an LED on the RAID Lite front panel will blink and an audible alarm will sound. In addition, each power supply has an LED that indicates the unit is operational.
The two power supplies included with each RAID Lite Rackmount and RAID Lite Data Center System feature an audible alarm that triggers when a power supply or fan fails, and an LED on the back panel of each power supply that indicates the unit is operational.
