a: Parts per billion (ppb) is the number of units of mass of a contaminant per 1000 million
units of total mass.
Group A and group B are common gas groups in a data center. Group A's or group B's
concentration limitation values that correspond to copper reactivity level G1 are calculated based
on the condition that relative humidity in a data center is lower than 50% and that the gases in
the group interact. A 10% of increase in the relative humidity will heighten the gaseous
corrosivity level by 1.
Corrosion is not determined by single factor, but by comprehensive environmental factors such
as temperature, relative humidity, corrosive airborne contaminants, and ventilation. Any of the
environmental factors may affect the gaseous corrosivity level. Therefore, the concentration
limitation values specified in the previous table are for reference only.
Heat Dissipation and Air Flow

When the altitude is lower than 1,800 m (5,904 feet) and the temperature ranges from 5C (41
F) to 40C (104F), or the altitude ranges from 1,800 m (5,904 feet) to 3,000 m (9,840 feet) and
the temperature ranges from 5C (41F) to 30C (86F), the storage system can run steadily for
a long time with the heat dissipation system carried by its own fan modules. The heat dissipation
mode of the storage system is described as follows:
l
The controller enclosure adopts the heat dissipation mode of front absorption and back
dissipation.
The cool air enters from the gaps between the front modules, passes through the midplane
(the air from the rear modules of the 4 U controller enclosure whirls and converges with
the air from the front inlet of the midplane), cools the power modules, controllers, and
interface modules, and then is discharged by the fans. The controller enclosure
automatically adjusts the rotation speed of the fans according to the operating temperature,
thus ensuring heat dissipation for the system.
The disk enclosure adopts the heat dissipation mode of front absorption and back
dissipation. The cool air enters from the gaps between the disks, passes through the
midplane into the power modules and expansion modules area, cools the power modules
and expansion modules, and is discharged by the fans. The disk enclosure automatically
adjusts the rotation speed of the fans according to the operating temperature, thus ensuring
heat dissipation for the system.
NOTE
The heat dissipation and air flow of the file engine are the same as those of the 4 U controller enclosure.
For better maintenance, ventilation, and heat dissipation, pay attention to the following when
installing the storage system to the cabinet:
l
Issue 04 (2013-06-15)
To ensure smooth ventilation, the cabinet should be at least 100 cm (39.4 inch) away from
the walls and at least 120 cm (47.28 inch) away from another cabinet (in front of or behind
this one).

CHAP
A password authentication method. It is a three-way

handshake authentication using encrypted passwords. The
authenticator sends to the authenticatee some randomly
created packets (Challenge); then the authenticatee encrypts
the random packets by using its own password and the MD5
algorithm and sends the cipher text thus generated back to the
authenticator (Response); finally, the authenticator encrypts
the original random packets by using the authenticatee's
password and the MD5 algorithm, compares the cipher texts,
and responds (Acknowledge or Not Acknowledge) according
to the result of the comparison.
Cloud backup
A function that backs up data from a storage array to a cloud.
Coffer
A technology for ensuring data security and integrity in a

storage system. It is used to store the mission-critical data of
the system.

for a piece of hardware or software or that contains
information on another file or on a specific user, such as the
user's logon ID.
Consistent
A state of the slave LUN. The current data or previous data on

the master LUN and the slave LUN is consistent in the
consistent state. The data on the slave LUN is available, and
the data on the master LUN is updated onto the slave LUN.
Controller
The core module that performs service processing in a storage

system. It contains physical components such as system-level
CPUs and memory.
Controller enclosure
An enclosure that accommodates the controller and provides

storage services. It is the core component of a storage system,
and generally consists of components such as controllers,
power supplies, and fans.
Copying
A pair state. The state indicates that the source LUN data is
being synchronized to the target LUN.
CRC
A procedure used in checking for errors in data transmission.

CRC error checking uses a complex calculation to generate a
number based on the data transmitted. The sending device
performs the calculation before transmission and includes it in
the packet that it sends to the receiving device. The receiving
device repeats the same calculation after transmission. If both
devices obtain the same result, it is assumed that the
transmission was error free. The procedure is known as a
redundancy check because each transmission includes not
only data but extra (redundant) error-checking values.
Communications protocols such as XMODEM and Kermit
use cyclical redundancy checking.
