The InfiniteStorage 6120 System Hardware

The InfiniteStorage 6120 is a four-unit (4U), rack-mountable enclosure that houses two power
cooling modules, two controllers, and slots for up to 60 SAS or SATA drives

(Figure 1)

. The

controllers provide system management and host connectivity interfaces.

The InfiniteStorage 6120 design concept is based on a subsystem together with a set of plug-in
modules and

(as supplied)

comprises:

• Enclosure chassis with front panel drive status indicator

• Two (2) power cooling plug-in modules (PCMs)

• Two plug-in controllers

• Up to 60 top loadable hard disk drives in a 5x12 matrix

• SAS and SATA drive intermix allowed

• Eight (8) SAS drive expander modules (DEMs)
