Virtual Storage Platform G200 controllers

The Virtual Storage Platform G200 model equipped with dual controllers for communicating with a data host.

Each controller contains its own processor, dual in-line cache memory modules (DIMMs), cache flash memory (CFM), battery, and fans. The controller has an Ethernet connection for out-of-band management using Hitachi Device Manager - Storage Navigator. If the data path through one controller fails, all drives remain available to data hosts using a redundant data path through the other controller. The controller is equipped with LED indicators for monitoring its operating conditions and notifying possible component replacement.

CBSS controller

The CBSS controller includes specific functional LEDs located on the front and rear of controller and power supplies to provide its operating status.

CBSS with front panel bezel

The following table describes the definitions of the CBSS controller front panel bezel LEDs.
