OPTION 44X2450

The 450GB 15K rpm 4Gbps Enhanced Disk Drive Module (E-DDM) FC disk drive OPTION 44X2450 requires an available disk drive bay in an IBM Disk System (DS Series) or IBM EXPansion Storage Unit (EXP). The 44X2450 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. Contact our Technical Support team if you need assistance in ordering or integrating this disk drive in your configuration.
