2.7 I/O Module Installation

Warning

Operation of the Enclosure with

ANY

modules missing will disrupt the airflow and the drives will

not receive sufficient cooling. It is

ESSENTIAL

that all apertures are filled before operating the unit.

Dummy Carriers and/or Blank modules are available for this purpose.

2.7.1 Parts Check List

Important

The enclosure may be configured with either one or two I/O modules. If only one I/O module is
fitted it must be installed in rear bay 4 and a Blank I/O module fitted in the unused bay.

• Two RAID I/O Modules ,or one RAID I/O Module with one Blank I/O module for Altos S205F
• Two JBOD I/O Modules ,or one JBOD I/O Module with one Blank I/O module for Altos S200F

Figure 2–10

Jumper setting for JBOD I/O module: set jumper J7 open. Each connection can see all

drives in the enclosure.
