High-Reliability Design
Reinforced Cooling Performance
Two intake fans in the front and one exhaust fan in the rear. Different from consumer computers, these products used a direct cooling method by direct exposure of the CPU heat sink to the air from the intake fans, without using CPU cooler fans. FA3100S model 9500/5500, in particular, feature the 3-lane separate structure, which separates heat flows in the major parts of the main unit, to reinforce their cooling performance.
Ambient Operating Temperature
Industrial Computers: 5 to 40 °C (41 to 104 °F)
Consumer computers, servers:
10 to 35 °C (50 to 95 °F)
ECC Memory
A highly reliable ECC memory capable of detecting and correcting errors is utilized.
RAID1/5 (RAID disk model)
The hot-Swap feature not only improves reliability but it also permits the quick replacement of failed hard disks without a computer shutdown.
RAID Controller Board (RAID Disk Model)
In addition to disk monitoring, the RAID Controller Board periodically performs a read check of the entire disk area. In case of a drive failure, a warning buzzer is sounded, the RAS function logs the failure, and status lamps alert the user.
HDD Mirroring (RAID1)
- RAID system keeps operating even if one HDD crashes.
- Hot Swap Function: HDD can be replaced without computer shutdown
- Easy to Rebuild: By simply replacing an HDD, data will be automatically copied and RAID1 will be configured.
Toshiba's Original RAID System has a Preventive Maintenance Function.
- The RAID System patrols read check on the entire HDD area.a The patrol function automatically finds errors, if any, and corrects them.
- This leads to an improved HDD fault tolerance.
