LCD Panel
The LCD panel shown in
Figure1-6
consists of a 16x2 character LCD screen with push
buttons and LED status indicators. The LCD front panel provides full access to all RAID
configurations and monitoring. After powering up the subsystem, the initial screen will
show the subsystem model name. A different name may be assigned for the system or
different arrays. This will enable easier identification in a topology with numerous arrays.
1.4.2 Enclosure Bay ID Allocation
16 Drive bays for the installation of standard 1” pitch, 3.5” disk drives. The drive bays
are located on the front panel and are easily accessible to the end user.
As shown in
Figure1-7
below, the ES subsystem is housed in an enclosure that is 4 bays
wide by 4 bays high. Drive bays (slots) are, when viewed from the front, numbered 1 to
16 from left to right, then from top to bottom.
Figure1-7:
Hard Drive IDs
The default ID for slot 0 is located at the top left hand corner and is set to “1.” This
setting should not cause any problems if the hard drives installed in this subsystem do not
share the same loop with other devices. The last slot ID, located at the bottom right hand
corner, will be “16”.
NOTE:
Users cannot change the default ID settings for the drives. The ID settings for the
drive are pre-assigned.
