RAID Controllers and Drive Modules
The Xserve RAID system has two RAID controllers, each of which controls the drive modules on one side of the system. The drive modules are numbered 1 to 7 on the left side of the system and 8 to 14 on the right side (when viewing the system from the front).
The top controller controls drives
The bottom controller controls drives
When planning the arrangement of drive modules and RAID levels for your system, it’s useful to know how the RAID controllers map to the drive modules, as well as how a RAID set appears on the host system.
