slot panel connectors The slot panel connectors of the SpycerBox
provide, for example, the network connections
to connect the system to a SAN. Furthermore,
if applicable, some additional panels may be
present for internal reasons or on customer re-
quest. Further details about the slot panel con-
nectors can be found in section “Slot Panel
Connectors” on page 2-12.
The system can be operated with one power supply unit out
of order. However, if another one fails the system is likely to
break down. Therefore, it is recommended to change a failed
power supply unit immediately.
