Notes

         
    All four machines are connected to a Dell PowerConnect 2724 gigabit Ethernet switch.  
         
    All systems utilize a networked Apple Laserwriter 8500 laser printer.  
         
    Both servers are connected to one monitor, keyboard, and mouse using a 2-port Belkin KVM system switch.  
         
      I currently have an AMI MegaRAID Elite 1600 (493) U160 LVD SCSI PCI-X RAID controller in my file server. It has 128MB SDRAM installed.  
         
    These two AMI MegaRAID Express 200 (466) controllers used to be in the file server. Both had 64MB FPM parity RAM installed. Both supported a maximum of 128MB.  
         
    This is the AMI MegaRAID 1200 (428) controller in my main server. It has 128MB FPM parity RAM installed.  
         
    The old AMI MegaRAID Express 200 (466) controllers ran four Quantum Atlas 10K II 36GB Ultra-160 LVD SCSI drives in a RAID 5 configuration, for a total of 108GB. Each had one hot spare, for a grand total of ten drives.  
         
      I currently have four Seagate Cheetah ST173404LCV U160 LVD SCSI 73GB HDDs in a RAID 5 array totaling 204GB in size. They are being controlled by an AMI MegaRAID Elite 1600 (493) Ultra-160 LVD RAID controller.  
         
       
         
    Here are some shots of my old file server RAID array. At one time, it was comprised of four Quantum Atlas 10K 18WLS 18GB Ultra-160 LVD SCSI drives totaling 54GB in size. These have been placed in my main server.  
         
       
         
         
  Images Soon   The DiscZerver Cyclone NAS two hard drives: a Maxtor 94091U8 40GB HDD and a Quantum Fireball lct20 30GB HDD. A Toshiba SD-M1402 12x/40x DVD-ROM drive is used for copying. The unit has a 10/100 NIC for network connectivity. The main CPU board has an AMD K6-2 350, 256MB PC100 SDRAM, and additional connectivity for Wide SCSI devices.  
         
  Symbios 53C876E   The 53C876E in the file server is two independent 53C875 controllers in one. The 8-bit and 16-bit sides are operated separately, making auto-termination easier. However, there is still a 15-device limit.
