The xw8200 supports (4) tool-less and (1) tool-required internal 1” HDD slots. The xw8200 can

support up to 2.0TB of SATA storage. The SCSI controllers support up to 5 disks allowing up to 1.5TB

of SCSI storage.

The xw8200 supports many combinations of SATA and SCSI drives for both factory integrated and

After Market Optional (AMO) storage. The supported choices are shown in the flowchart, starting

with the selection of SATA or SCSI for the first drive. The xw8200 has an integrated SATA RAID

controller and an integrated SCSI RAID controller. The DZ554A and AA850A (AA850A is AMO

only) channel SCSI U320 controllers are additional SCSI controller options. The AA850A offers RAID

support. The ED092AV (factory integrated only) SATA or ED090AA (AMO Only) SATA RAID

controller is required to integrate more than two SATA HDDs.

RAID

The xw8200 has both an integrated Intel ICH5R SATA RAID controller and an integrated LSI 320

SCSI RAID controller that support RAID 0 (Striping, for performance) and RAID 1 (Mirroring for fault

tolerance). For SCSI AMO, the AA850A U320 single channel controller provides support for various

RAID levels including 0 and 1. For SATA, the ED090AA SATA RAID controller (factory RAID

enablement not supported) provide support for RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 0+1 (combination of RAID

0 and RAID 1). In all cases disks being RAIDed must be identical. Also note that using RAID 1 halves

the amount of available storage.

Cabling

For Factory-integrated storage, all required cabling is provided. For xw8200 AMO storage, the

AA818A 5-Port SCSI cable should be ordered with any SCSI controller if internal HDDs will be

connected to the SCSI controller. The AA658A U320 SCSI Back Panel cable kit allows external SCSI

devices to be connected to the integrated LSI 320 SCSI controller. For those customers who desire to

install their own EIDE drive(s) the DY660A EIDE Cable Kit is provided as an AMO item.

Summary

The xw8200 provides a large amount of highly-configurable storage.
