System overview
Enclosure configuration
The Exos E 4U106 storage system fits within four rack space units. See
. It holds up to 106 low profile
(1-inch high) 3.5"
form factor drive modules vertically in 4U of rack space (hence, the term '4U106'). Alternatively, each
drive slot can hold a low profile (5/8-inch high) 2.5" form factor drive with an adapter within the large form factor carrier.
Each individual drive is hot pluggable and replaceable on site. Drive modules must be installed during system setup after
the enclosure is mounted on rails in the rack.
NOTE:
Usually, “IOM” term denotes either a controller module (RAID canister) or an expansion canister. Throughout
this guide—and the management interface documents used with this guide—IOM denotes an expansion canister.
The enclosure configurations—including chassis and FRUs—are described on the following pages. Refer to
for details about various enclosure options.
