Enclosure drive bay numbering convention

Important

Drive carrier modules must always be installed in drive locations 1 and 12. This is the minimum configuration required for the system to operate and provide SES Management Services.

The enclosure drive bay numbering convention is shown in the illustration on page 16. A drive bay is defined as the space required to house a single 1.0-inch high, 3.5-inch disk drive in its carrier module.

Drive carrier configuration

Important

Before you begin installation, you should become familiar with the configuration requirements of your enclosure. There must be a drive present in drive locations 1 and 12 to enable SES communications to operate. Installing drives in both of these bays provides redundant SES communication paths.

When planning your system configuration, remember that all enclosure drive bays must be filled with either a drive carrier or dummy drive carrier module. No bays should be left empty.

Enclosure installation procedures

Warning

An enclosure with all component parts installed is too heavy for a single person to safely install alone into a rack cabinet.

The following procedures describe the installation of an enclosure and highlight any critical requirements and good handling practices you should follow to ensure a successful installation.

Caution

Make sure that you wear a suitable anti-static wrist or ankle strap and observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling modules and components. Avoid contact with such things as backplane components and module connectors.
