Indeed so, might be added that the second number tells you the MByte of
cache in the array, the first one is the model of the Array.

The older versions of the SSAs (eg 101 and 102) has a 40 MHz microSPARC and 
4 MB of RAM. The never versions (112, 114) has 16 MB RAM, 1 MB
cache and an 110 microSPARC cpu. 

It has 25 MB full duplex connection fibre connection to get around some of
the limitations with SCSI (cable lenght etc).

You might want to use Veritas VolumeManager 2.6 on this one. Since you have
an array you wont need a license, its sort of included with the arrays.
