Disk Drive Drawer printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies
Each disk drive drawer in a 5U84 storage shelf uses a printed circuit board (PCB)
assembly to provide the electrical connectivity to the drawer's disk drives.
Along with providing the electrical connectivity to the disk drives, PCB assemblies
also provide:
■
Mounting platforms for the drawer cabling system
■
Redundant power paths to each disk drive
■
Redundant 12Gb/s SAS signal paths to each disk drive
■
Provide technical feedback to the system when a drawer is opened or closed.
PCB assemblies include the following components:
■
Three drawer Baseplane cards
■
One right side Drawer Sideplane card
■
One left side Drawer Sideplane card
