Bosch Security System

The RAID subsystem houses many active components and most of them can be accessed 

through either the front or rear panel. The modular design of the active components facilitates 

their easy installation and removal. Hot-swap mechanisms are incorporated to eliminate 

power surges and signal glitches that might occur while removing or installing these modules. 

LCD Panel

The LCD panel shown in Figure 2.7 consists of a 16x2-character LCD screen with push buttons 

and LED status indicators. The LCD front panel provides full access to all RAID configuration 

settings and monitoring functions. After powering up the subsystem, the initial screen will 

show the subsystem model name. A different name may be assigned for the system or differ-

ent arrays. This will enable easier identification in a topology with numerous arrays. 

Drive Tray Front View

The RAID subsystem comes with sixteen (16) drive trays (See Figure 2.8) designed to accom-

modate separately purchased standard 1-inch pitch, 3.5-inch disk drives. The drive bays are 

easily accessible from the front of the enclosure. Two (2) LEDs on the front of the tray indi-

cate the drive status. A key-lock on each drive tray secures the hard drive in place, while an 

easily accessible button ensures fast and efficient drive hot-swapping.

Be careful not to warp, twist, or contort the drive tray in any way (e.g., by dropping it or rest-

ing heavy objects on it). The drive tray has been customized to fit into the drive bays in the 

RAID subsystem. If the drive bay superstructure is deformed or altered, the drive trays may 

not fit into the drive bay.
