| Q1. |
I currently have a DS2100/2110 with U160/U320 drives. Can I upgrade to a DS2120? |
| A1. |
Yes, you can move your current drives to a DS2120 enclosure, and if there are still available slots, add new disk drives. |
 |
| Q2. |
Can I use my existing U160 host bus adapter? |
| A2. |
Yes. |
|
| Q3. |
Can I daisy chain multiple DS2120 units, or do I need a separate HBA for each enclosure? |
| A3. |
Yes, up to three DS2120 units can be daisy-chained and connected to the same HBA (up to two units in multi-initiator configurations). This would result in up to 12 drives, or up to 3.6TB of storage. |
|
| Q4. |
Am I limited to racked configurations only? |
| A4. |
No, the DS2120 is available either as a racked model, or as a desk-side, stand-alone model. |
|
| Q5. |
Can I connect the DS2120 to U320 Host bus adapters? |
| A5. |
Yes, but at initial boot of the host, the adapter should be configured to U160 transfer speed. |
