TRANSPARENT UPGRADES for SMD/E
DISK DRIVES Now there is
a simple way to use reliable SCSI drives on present real-time or
minicomputer. Reduce downtime and service calls - eliminate unreliable
disk drives. The EID-1 directly replaces the original disk drive with
a Reactive drive emulator. EID-1 mimics the operation of the original
drive, but actually stores data on a new SCSI drive. The change is
totally transparent to the operating system. The operating procedures
for the system are not altered.
PLUG COMPATIBLE with 8-INCH
DRIVES
No hardware or software modifications
are required to upgrade to fast, reliable SCSI drives on existing
computers. Unplug the existing disk drive and install the EID-1, using
the same cables. Power for the unit is provided from the existing
power supply - same as the old drive. Changes to the diagnostics or
operating software are not necessary.
EID-1 replaces most 8-inch disk drives
using the industry standard SMD to SMD-E interface. For systems using
a drive control panel, an interface connector is provided on the
EID-1. Adapters can be provided for the specific drive being replaced.
MAINTENANCE FREE
The EID-1 carries a 1 year warranty and
uses Ultra SCSI disk drives for low maintenance operation. Many drives
are rated in excess of 500,000 hours MTBF.
REDUCED POWER and COOLING
EID-1 receives power from the existing
supply. The unit uses significantly less power and runs cooler than
8-inch drives, thus reducing the power supply load. An adapter allows
the EID-1 to plug into the present power supply connector.
