Chapter 1: Introduction
PN: IFT-9273CDTray
The subsystem comes with sixteen (16) drive trays (see
Figure 1-15
)
designed to accommodate separately-purchased, standard 1-inch pitch, 3.5-
inch Fibre disk drives. The drive bays are accessible from the front of the
enclosure. Two (2) LEDs on the front bezel indicate drive operating
statuses. A rotary bezel lock prevents accidental removal, while a release
button ensures fast and efficient drive swapping. Screw holes on the sides
can be used to secure hard drives to the drive tray.
WARNING!
Be careful not to warp, twist, or contort the drive tray in any way (e.g., by
dropping it or resting heavy objects on it). The drive tray has been
customized to fit into the drive bays in the F16F subsystem. If the drive
bay superstructure is deformed or altered, the drive trays may not fit into
the drive bay.
When viewing from the front, drive bay IDs are numbered from Slot 1 to
Slot 16 (see
Figure 1-16
), from left to right, and then from top to bottom.
CAUTION!
Tray numbering sequence is important if one disk drive fails and
needs to be replaced. Replacing a wrong drive can fatally fail a
RAID3/5 array. Failing three members destroys a RAID6 array.
