OPTION 40K6820

The 146.8GB 15K rpm 4Gbps Enhanced Disk Drive Module (E-DDM) FC disk drive OPTION 40K6820 requires an available disk drive bay in one of the following IBM products: DS5000 Series, EXP5000, DS3950, EXP395, DS4700 Models 70 and 72 Midrange Disk Systems (1814-70x and 1814-72x) 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.
