2U12, 2U24, and 2U48 RAID Chassis: Rear
Panel Layout
The diagram and table below display and identify important component items that comprise the rear panel
layout of a 2U12, 2U24, and 2U48 RAID chassis. The following image shows a representative example of
RAID chassis models included in the product series. The rear panel layout is the same for the 2U12, 2U24,
and 2U48 RAID chassis.
Note:
The 4U56 Series RAID chassis (4U) is significantly different from the 2U12, 2U24, and 2U48
RAID chassis (2U). The 4U56 RAID chassis is twice as high and has separate power supplies and
fans.
