PCMs

The drive enclosure design concept is based on a subsystem together with a set of plug-in modules and (as supplied) comprises:

•Enclosure Chassis with integral Front Panel Drive Status Indicator (Figure 5–9).

•Two (2) 1865W Power Cooling (PCM) plug-in modules (Figure 5–4).

•Two (2) plug-in Input/Output (I/O) modules (Figure 5–5).

•A midplane separates the front and back of the chassis and provides the interconnect system between the PCMs, I/O modules, and the baseboard.

•Up to 60 top loadable hard disk drives (HDDs) in a 5x12 matrix.

•SAS and SATA drive intermix allowed.

The InfiniteStorage 15000 supports both SATA and SAS interface drives. SATA and SAS interface drives can be mixed with a configuration. However, the mixing of SAS and SATA drives within a tier is not recommended or supported.

•Eight (8) SAS disk expander modules (DEMs).
