VTrak M610p Product Manual

Installing Disk Drives
You can populate the VTrak with 3.5-inch, 1.5 Gb or 3.0 Gb SATA drives. For
optimal performance, install physical drives of the same model and capacity. The
drives’ matched performance allows the logical drive to function better as a single
drive. The table below shows the number of drives required for each RAID level.
Drive Slot Numbering
You can install any suitable disk drive into any slot in the enclosure. The diagram
below shows how VTrak’s drive slots are numbered. Slot numbering is reflected
in the WebPAM PROe and CLU user interfaces.
Figure 3. VTrak M610p drive slot numbering

Note
Unlike other VTrak models, the M610p does not support Parallel
ATA disk drives. There is no PATA-to-SATA adapter available for
