Product description SIMATIC IPC with Hardware RAID For the D series of the SIMATIC IPC647D/847D, a new Hardware RAID adapter card has been introduced in connection with SAS hard disks. The new features and modifications of a device that is equipped with Hardware RAID adapter card and SAS hard disks are listed below: ●...
The SIMATIC IPC has CE certification for use in the industrial sector as well as in residential and commercial areas and small businesses. In addition to the industrial applications, therefore, it can also be used in building automation or in public facilities. SIMATIC IPC647D/847D Hardware RAID Configuration Compact Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E34655907-AA...
For automatic data mirroring on two hard disks. Configurations with hot-spare drive available for order. ● RAID5 (striping with parity): For increased memory capacity and improved data security on three hard disks. Configurations with hot-spare drive available for order. SIMATIC IPC647D/847D Hardware RAID Configuration Compact Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E34655907-AA...
The HDD | HDD3 ALARM LED does not indicate hard disk activity for Hardware RAID. The Hard- ware RAID hard disk activity is indicated via the LEDs of the removable drive bay. A hot-spare drive of a RAID system is not displayed. SIMATIC IPC647D/847D Hardware RAID Configuration Compact Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E34655907-AA...
