data rebuilding without issuing commands or keying in functions when a replacement disk drive installed.</p> <p><span class="spottitle">Easy Maintenance</span><br> Caen designs RAID products with hot-swappable parts including hard disk tray, redundant power supply unit, and cooling fan for customers to remove and install the parts without interrupting data access while the RAID is on.</p> <p><span class="spottitle">Hot-Spare</span><br> A hard disk drive can be configured as a hot standby disk. When a hard disk drive error occurs in one of the RAID members, this on-line hot-spare disk drive will automatically take over for the failed disk drive.</p> <p><span class="spottitle">OS Independent</span><br> Whether it is for networks with stand-alone Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, NT4.0, Red Hat 9.0, or Mac based servers, or for clustered server environments, Caen’s RAID offers complete operating system independence and transparence.</p> <p><span class="spottitle">Low Total Cost Of Ownership</span><br> Caen's RAID ensures a low total cost of ownership by eliminating unnecessary hardware, driver license, and administration costs. Meanwhile, the Caen's Firewire series provide further cost reduction capability by using IDE disk drives which are more cost efficient than traditional RAID systems with SCSI disk drives.</p> <p><span class="spottitle"><strong>Specifications</strong></span></p> <p><strong> Multiple Host Interface Support (Optional host module) <br> </strong>Firewire 1394A/B 400/800 Mbps and USB 2.0, 480 Mbps <br> S-ATA I, 1.5Gbps <strong><br> Disk Interface Support <br> </strong>4 x ATA-100/133 <strong><br> RAID Function Support <br> </strong>Hardware RAID level 0, 5, 0+1, 5 + spare by dip switch setting <strong><br> </strong>Hot swappable disk <br> Automatic on-line rebuilding <br> Hot spare support <strong><br> Subsystem Function Support <br> </strong>Driverless <br> Plug & Play for 1394/USB combo interface Multiple operating system support<br> <em>• Apple Mac 9.x/X.x later version• Windows 98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP • Red Hat 9.0 later version</em><em>• </em><br> GUI support for system status monitoring <br> Support up to 2TB RAID capacity <br> On board 2MB buffer cache size <br> LCD panel for operation status display <br> Disk status LED indicators <br> Fan failed LED indicator <br> Power failed LED indicator <br> Event notification through audible alarm or e-mail <br> Alarm mute switch <br> One RS-232 port for terminal or GUI connection <br> Removable cooling fan module <strong><br> Mechanical, Environmental and Safety Specifications <br> </strong>Dimension: 175mm (width) x 200mm (height) x 402mm (depth) <br> Weight: 6.65 Kg without disks <strong><br> </strong>Operation temperature: 0 ~ 50 oC <br> Operation humidity: 5 ~ 95 %, non-condensing <br> Storage humidity: 5 ~ 75 %, non-condensing<strong><br> Host Connectors (Optional)<br> </strong>Two 9-pin 1394 B with power connectors and one USB2.0 connector • One Serial ATA connector<strong> Interface Connectors <br> </strong>One RS-232 connector 200W power supply<br> 100~250V AC input • Output +5V/10 A, +12V/10 A, +3.3V/5A • PFC support FCC, CE, UL approval</p>  <p><a href="/PDF/fw404_001.pdf" target="_blank" class="bulletlink" title="click to download pdf datasheet">Download the printable PDF from our FTP site!</a></p> <p> <font size="-1"> Please contact our sales team at <a href="mailto:sales@caeneng.com">sales@caeneng.com</a> or our service department at <a href="mailto:support@caeneng.com">support@caeneng.com</a> if you want to find out more! </font> <br> <br> <a name="terms"></a><font color="#666666" size="-2">Caen Engineering, <a class="terms" href="#terms" onClick="NewWindow('/terms.htm');">terms of service</a>, Find an error on the site?
