Note:
Drive slot numbering is also provided on the label that is laminated to the sheet metal housing
(top face) on each drawer. Refer to the drawer label when installing drives into the drawer.
The 2U48 drive chassis is shipped with the drawers installed, but they are not populated with drives.
Depending on your product configuration, drive bay blanks, also known as Air Management Solution (AMS)
inserts, must be installed in all empty drive slots. Locate the box containing your sledded drives and AMS
inserts in preparation for populating the drive slots.
Note:
Refer to Enclosure Installation Checklist
for information on installing drives and AMS
inserts.
2U48 Drive Chassis Drawers Partially Populated
Figure 40 on the next page shows drawer 0 with drives installed within slots 0-11 (callouts 2, 4, and 5). Slots
12-15 contain four AMS inserts (callout 6) to manage air flow within the chassis to maintain optimal
operating temperature.
