Texas Memory Systems RamSan-300/320 User Manual

 

 

 

The RamSan-3xx series solid state disk is a 3U rack-mountable system.  

TMS ships the system with the slides and equipment needed to install it 
into a standard 19” rack.  
 

After you have inspected the system and properly mounted it, connect the 
Fibre Channel ports on the RamSan to either your server or to a Fibre 

Channel switch.

Figure 2-2 shows the port layout for the RamSan.  Each controller has two 

Fibre Channel ports: A and B, on the top and bottom respectively.  The 
FC65 ports on the system are capable of connecting to point-to-point, 

arbitrated loop, and switched fabric topologies at either 2-Gigabit or 
1-Gigabit speeds. 
 

TMS equips the RamSan with dual redundant hot-swappable power 
supplies that operate on 110/220 VAC line power.  A fully loaded RamSan 

requires approximately 350 watts of power.  Using the provided AC power 
cords, connect both power supplies to a power source.  Install the socket 

outlet in an easily accessible location near the equipment. 
 

For normal system operation, connect both power supplies to an external 
power source.  Since the power supplies are redundant, you may remove 

line power from one without any interruption in system operation.  If a 
RamSan-320 completely looses external power, it will shutdown after a 
defined amount of time.
