FCC Compliances Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in residential installations. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is not guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to
radio or television equipment reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Move the equipment away from the receiver.

3. Plug the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
powered.

4. Consult MSKL or an experienced radio/television technician for help.

All external connections should be made using shielded cables.

Chapter 1 – Introduction

1.1 Overview

The MS-3020 is an external data storage equipment. It provides JBOD solution, and meets the
requirement of large data capacity in Digital Video Recording (DVR)/Digital Audio Recording
(DAR)/Media Streaming. Its capacity can reach 24TB by installing 400GB x 60 hard disk drives; that is,
15 sets. It uses leading SCSIDE technology, that lets you enjoy the best SCSI performance by using
inexpensive IDE hard disk drives.

1.2 Features

• Capacity up to 1.6TB by connecting 400GB x 4 hard disk drives

• Offers 4 swappable trays for convenient replacing of hard disk drives

• High scalability up to 15 sets with 40MB/s of data transfer rate; maximum capacity up to 24TB

by connecting 400GB x 60 hard disk drives

• High scalability up to 8 sets with 160MB/s of data transfer rate; maximum capacity 12.8TB by
connecting 400GB * 32 hard disk drives

• Support 48-bit LBA Big Drive Technology (hard disk drives over 137GB)

• Built-in RISC microcontroller core for improving chip performance

• On-board flash ROM for easy firmware update

• Cost-effective and high performance

1.3 Specifications

• 1U rack mount of 44 (H) x 483 (W) x 400 (D) mm

• Host interface: Supports Ultra160 LVD SCSI feature with data transfer rate up to 160MB/s.

1.6 About SCSI

Be aware of the following issues before using SCSI devices.

1. SCSI ID: Each device attached to the SCSI host adapter must be assigned a unique SCSI ID,
which distinctively identifies a SCSI device for its data transfer and processing. While
connecting more than one SCSI device, each device should have different ID numbers.

2. Terminator: SCSI is featured with high scalability. In order to ensure reliable data
transmission on the SCSI bus, an electrical pathway that consists of adapters and devices,
there should be installed a terminator at the end of the bus. No matter how many SCSI
devices (up to 15) are attached to the bus, a terminator must be added to the last device.
