2.2.1 Enclosure Bay Numbering Convention
The enclosure bay numbering convention is shown in
Figure 2–1
. A Bay is defined as the space required
to house a single 1.0" high 3.5 inch disk drive in its carrier module. e.g. a 1 x 4 bay module would take
the space of 1 drive width by 4 drive bays high (in the rack mount configuration).
The RS-1600-FC-FFX2 subsystem is housed in a 4 x 4 enclosure, i.e. 4 bays wide by 4 bays high. The
front bays are numbered 1 to 4 from left to right, viewed from the front. Bays are numbered from 1 (top
row) to 4 (bottom row). Drive Carrier Module locations are identified from a matrix of the top and side
numbers. The rear bays are numbered 1 to 5 from right to left, viewed from the rear
Important
Drive carrier module must always be fitted in locations 1/1 (drive 0) and 4/4 (drive 15). This is the
minimum configuration required for the system to operate and provide SES Management
Services.
