Page 10: Introduction
Introduction The ProLiant Storage System is a cost-effective, high performance external storage system for Compaq server products. The storage system provides up to 30.1 gigabytes of hard drive mass storage using hot-pluggable Fast-Wide SCSI-2 and Fast-SCSI-2 hard drives. All operating systems will benefit from the easy to service pluggable drive connection scheme. -
