drive drawer
The 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf and the 5U84 Expansion Storage Shelf each use
a 5U chassis. Each chassis contains two sliding drawers that are accessible from
the front of the storage shelves. Each drawer holds 42 Disk Drive In Carrier (DDIC)
modules. The DDIC modules are installed in each of the drive drawer slots, which
can hold a total of 84 disk drives. Each DDIC module holds one 3.5" SAS3, 7200
rpm hard disk drive, in either 4-TB or 8-TB capacities. The disk drives and the DDIC
modules are hot-swappable and can be replaced on-site while the storage shelf is
operational.
Disk drive slot numbering
Each disk drive drawer in a 5U84 storage shelf is divided into three compartments.
The compartments contain the individual drive slots that hold the DDIC modules
and the disk drives.
