FibreCAT TXF Operating Manual 5
1 Preface
The demand for scalable storage capacity and the increasing trend towards
rack-based servers call for correspondingly compact and powerful backup
systems that can ensure the necessary data security.
Figure 1: FibreCAT TXF backup subsystem
The FibreCAT TXF backup subsystem provides a flexible means of consoli-
dating rack-based data security. The FibreCAT TXF backup subsystem makes
it possible to install today's backup devices (such as LTO3 Ultrium, DDS Gen5,
VXA-320, etc.) in a separate 19" housing. The FibreCAT TXF backup
subsystem is available in different models for SCSI-, SAS-, or USB technology.
Each I/O module has 4 ports for the connection of up to 4 servers and it has a
power management for the remote on/off of a single drives or the complete
system. The backup subsystem provides four 1.6"-high bays for this purpose.
The backup subsystem is also ready to accommodate future backup devices.
The backup subsystem offers a simple, flexible and reasonably priced solution
for avoiding backup constraints and enabling expansion.
The models are equipped with different input modules and cable chain variants.
The FibreCAT TXF backup subsystem has an integrated power supply unit. The
FibreCAT TXF backup subsystem is cooled by a fan. The fan is monitored to
ensure that it does not fall below the nominal speed.
In the 19" rack, the FibreCAT TXF backup subsystem occupies three height
units (3 HU).

6 Operating Manual FibreCAT TXF
Concept and target groups for this manual Preface
1.1 Concept and target groups for this manual
This operating manual describes how to install, set up and operate your backup
subsystem.
This operating manual is intended for those responsible for installing the
hardware and ensuring that the system runs smoothly. It contains all the infor-
mation you need to put your FibreCAT TXF backup subsystem into operation.
To understand the various expansion options, you will need to be familiar with
the fields of hardware and data transmission and you will require a basic
knowledge of the underlying operating system.
1.2 Documentation overview
More information on your FibreCAT TXF backup subsystem can be found in the
following documents:
– “Quick Start Hardware - FibreCAT TXF backup subsystem- First Steps
Hardware Setup” leaflet (only included as a printed copy)
– “Safety notes and other important information” manual
– “Warranty” manual
– “Returning used devices” manual
IFibreCAT TXF manuals are available in PDF format on the ServerBooks
DVD.
