System Configuration

3-3

Right Panel

The power subsystem fills up most part of the rear right panel.  It
consists of a power backplane and a metal rack that holds up to three
400-watt power supply modules.  On the bottom compartment of the
power supply rack are the charger and the battery box.  The rear end
carries the three built-in power supply fans that cool down the
components and regulate the air flow inside each power supply.  See
section 3.6 for details on the power subsystem.

The front panel board occupies the upper front section of the right
panel.  The lower section allows installation of a second SCSI
backplane board and another set of seven hot-swappable SCSI drive
trays.

Figure 3-3 shows the components that reside on the right panel.
