Overview
The HP Netserver Rack Storage / 12 accommodates up to (12) low profile 1″ disk modules or (8) half-height (1.6″) disk modules per enclosure. Up to (13) storage enclosures can fit into a standard 2M rack.
Power supplies, cooling fans, and SCSI control cards are all redundant and hot-swappable. The standard Ultra3 SCSI interface can be upgraded to Fibre Channel for increased distances between the host and storage shelves.
HP’s original specification for the Rack Storage / 12 only allowed for (8) 73.4 GB 10K RPM disk drives to be installed as, at the time, these high capacity drives were only available in half-height 1.6″ form. Up to (12) 73.4 GB 10K RPM drives can now be installed when 1″ (Low Profile) 73GB drives are used instead.
