OPTION 40K6812

The 36.4GB 15K rpm 4Gbps Enhanced Disk Drive Module (E-DDM) FC disk drive OPTION 40K6812 requires an available disk drive bay in one of the following DS4000 series products: DS4700 Models 70 and 72 Midrange Disk Systems (1814-70x and 1814-72x), DS5000 Series EXP5000 EXPansion enclosure, or DS4000 series products with the EXP810 Fibre Channel Expansion Storage Unit (1812-81A, 1812-81H). This Enhanced Disk Drive Module (E-DDM) is a 4Gbps hot-swappable Fibre Channel (FC) Disk Drive option that requires the Link Rate Switch setting of the EXP810 expansion box to be set to 4Gbps in order to operate at 4Gbps. If the Link Rate Switch is set to 2Gbps in your configuration to accommodate 2Gbps drives that you may have, this drive will auto negotiate and run at 2Gbps to coexist with your 2Gbps components. This option increases the storage capacity of IBM TotalStorage DS4000 Series (FAStT) Storage Servers to deliver configurations greater than 32TB. This drive, when used with the fully configured, 16-bay, DS4000 Series (FAStT) EXP810 Storage Expansion Unit, can deliver a more than 2.3TB of high-performance storage in 3U of rack space.
