Feature Rich Front-Panel Design
The RocketStor 6430TS series enclosures are equipped with a selection of pro-active monitoring, alert and management features designed to simplify administration in the field.
The most prominent feature of the enclosure’s front-panel is the configurable 16x2 backlit LCD screen. This LCD is an integral component of the enclosure’s cooling system, includes a selection of fan-related controls and reports ambient interior temperatures in real time. A bank of LED indicators actively monitors the status of hosted storage devices with simple yet highly-effective color-coding scheme; Yellow for warning, Red for failure or error, Green for Normal/Optimal.
Complete Fan Control & Temperature Monitoring System
RocketStor 6430 series enclosures feature an advance cooling system that employs separate, dedicated fans for the drive bays and power supply, a 16x2 backlit LCD with built-in fan control and an audible alarm, and programmable temperature thresholds to tie it all together.
RocketStor 6430TS RAID enclosures are powered by our industry proven SAS/SATA RAID stack, and are capable of supporting one more RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 arrays, non-RAID JBOD configurations and single drives.
A built-in RAID Wizard enables administrators of any experience level quickly and easily configure RAID storage for a wide range of applications.
Advanced Management Features allow customers to fine tune arrays for specific projects, with options to specify block size, enable auto-rebuild in the case of a disk failure and designate spare disks for recovery, and schedule routine automated maintenance sessions with Email notification.
SAS/SATA RAID Solution
SHI (Storage Health Inspector) – allows administrators to instantly check the operating status of storage devices in real-time
Online Array Roaming – simplifies storage upgrade and replacement procedures. RocketStor 6430TS Series RAID enclosures will automatically recognize arrays created with other HighPoint SAS/SATA RAID solutions, such as RocketRAID 2700 and 3700 series controller cards, and other HighPoint RAID enclosures. The arrays will remain intact and accessible, even if the drives are moved to different bays/ports.
Intelligent 1-Click Self-Diagnostic Solution – customers no longer have to manually assemble a collection of screenshots, logs and status reports when submitting support inquiries. 1-click enables the interface to gather all necessary hardware, software and storage configuration data and compile it into a single file, which can be transmitted directly to our FAE Team via our Online Support Portal.
