Enclosure Chassis
2.2.1
Chassis Overview
The RAID subsystem comes in a 2U metal chassis. A backplane board divides the enclosure
internally into front and rear sections. The front section accommodates eight (8) drive trays
(with their associated hard drives) and the rear section accommodates two (2) PSU modules,
two (2) single-fan cooling modules, and a single RAID controller module. The two (2) forearm
handles on the front of the subsystem enable you to easily insert/extract the chassis into/from
a rack or cabinet. Pre-drilled mounting holes on the sides of the chassis allow you to attach
separately purchased slide rails.
