Acer Altos Server Family Acer Altos RS710 Enterprises with ever-increasing databases, such as banks, schools, government offices and other large enterprises, require safe, efficient, and scalable storage systems. The Altos RS710, a non-business critical hard-disk based storage subsystem, is ideal for these environments because it provides cost-effective flexible storage with a good level of availability. It is scalable and can be fully integrated in a RAID configuration together with the Altos server range. Storage Capacity and Scalabality By adding extra disk drives to a maximum of 15, storage capacity can be increased while the use of 9GB, 18GB, or 36GB disk drives provides great flexibility and allows a maximum storage capacity of 540GB. Peformance Because information flow is a vital part of any computing system, the interface connecting the drives with the system plays an important role in determining overall performance. The Altos RS710 comes equipped with the latest Ultra 160 SCSI interface to provide super-fast data transfer rates. The Ultra 160 SCSI, which transfers data at a staggering 160MB per second, not only provides superior data transfer rate but also gives better throughput of data when accessing hard drives. Racks and subsystems Reliability and Availability The RS710 incorporates features and components specially design to provide round-the-clock maximum availability. Hot-swappable/Redundant Components • Redundant power supplies to keep the system running in the event of a power supply failure. • Redundant fans designed to keep the system cool at all times, without any loss of service. LED/Audible Warnings Alarms and LEDs have been incorporated in the RS710 to warn of componeent failure and equipment access problems LEDs on the front panel of the tower give fast and simple notification of hard drive failure, fan and power status, while LDS on the individual disk drive trays provide a quick diagnosis of drive failure, and status/access. These provisions ensure data accessibility at all times.

Manageability In order to keep the storage subsystem running smoothly and hassle-free, the Altos RS710 comes fully equipped with 2 manageability software packages: • Advanced System Manager (ASM) Pro This software ensures that servers and storage systems are fully monitored at all times. ASM Pro alerts MIS when the system is down, enabling administrators to take action to prevent system failure and resulting damage. ASM Pro also provides superior task-intensive capability for asset, security, performance, remote, configuration and security management, as well as multi-platform support and Integrated Remote Diagnostic Manager. And, in the event of a system crash, the emergency BIOS management takes control and automatically pages a designated MIS agent or activates Wait/Smart reboot modes - depending on the administrator’s preference. • Acer Rack Manager This software helps users to configure their servers and storage systems together, for use with the Acer Altos rack solution. It can simulate the arrangement of components in the rack and provide detailed information concerning total weight, height, heat levels and electrical current. An auto-arrange feature that automatically configures the best arrangement of components is also included. Storage Convenience The Altos RS710 is a flexible system, hence it presents no problem at all when planning the office layout for installation. It is available as a stand-alone wheeled unit or as a rack-mounted unit that can be placed in a vertical arrangement along with other servers and storage products Cluster Up – the Altos RS710 can be used in conjunction with servers as a clustering solution, providing increased availability for maximum uptime. By sharing the load between all the units in a cluster, the system will continue to work even in the event of a hardware failure. Acer RS710 Hard Drives Protocol support – Ultra 160 (LVD) I/O module connector – Very High Density Cable Interconnect (VHDCI) Number of hard drives – 15 Ultra 160 Hard drive capacity – 9GB, 18GB, 36GB Chassis Dimensions – tower: 440mm x 175mm x 640mm Management Rack density – 4U Weight – 71.52 lbs./32.5kg Power – 2 x 250 W (normal); 1 x 250 W with optional redundancy SAF-TE boards provided to monitor storage subsystem (such as disk drives) via the SCSI bus Enclosed LED indicators (on front panel) – fan status LED (left); hard drive failure LED (middle); power LED (right) Drive LED indicators (on drive trays) – drive on-line LED; drive access LED; drive failure LED Audible alarm – activated when SPS or fan fails Locks – front door; hard drive trays Hot-Plug redundancy – SPS; fan Rack mount kits – available for Acer Altos Rack series Regulatory and EMI – FCC Class B, CE Mark Environmental Data Safety – UL, CUL,TUV;VCCI Relative humidity (non-condensing) – operating: 20% to 80% RH; non-operating (packed and unpacked): 10% to 90% RH Temperature range – operating: +5 to +35 degrees C; non-operating (packed): -20 to 60 degrees C; non-operating (unpacked): -10 to 60 degrees C Storage expansion – the Altos RS710 has space for up to 15 hot-swappable hard disk drives. RAID assurance – using an internal or external RAID array, the Altos RS710 can be configured for different levels of RAID, ensuring no information is lost in the event of a failure. Maximum system uptime – by using hot-swappable components and faulttolerance technology, the Altos RS710 helps minimise the possibility of system failure. Acer Rack Manager is a software application that can simulate the confguration and arrangement of Altos servers and other storage components in the Altos rack solution.
