MISCELLANEOUS TECHNICAL NOTES |
The controller cannot use caching without the CM401X caching module. The MM401X memory modules cannot operate without the caching module. The memory modules come in 2MB and 4MB size but can only be installed one at the time unless the MX401X expansion card is connected to the controller. DM401X is the disk mirroring module which provide RAID 1 disk mirroring capability. |
