System Features

Device Carrier

Front loaded components such as the RAID controller and disk drives are housed in easily removable device carriers. The device carrier is the basic building block of the series. The device carriers are of high quality anodised metal construction. This allows for rapid heat dissipation and conforms to the stringent requirements of CE, UL and FCC standards.

Figure 1-7 shows the device carrier.
