2.5 Partially Populated Enclosure
If the enclosure is not fully populated, it is recommended to load the drive columns and not rows for
maximum performance, (
Figure 2–8 ).
2.6 EBOD 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 are available for this purpose.
2.6.1 Parts Check List
2 EBOD Modules
2.6.2 Installation Procedure
Check for damage especially to the interface connector, do not install if any pins are bent.
1 The modules should be installed in rear bays 3 and 4 of the Enclosure ( Figure 2–1 ).
2 With the latch in the open position ( Figure 2–9 ), slide the EBOD module into the enclosure until the latch
engages automatically.
