2.1.1Enclosure Bay Numbering Convention

The enclosure bay numbering convention is shown in Figure 2–1.A bay is defined as the space required to house a single 1.0 inch high 3.5 inch disk drive in its carrier module. For example, a 1 x 4 bay module would take the space of 1 drive width by 4 drive bays high (in the rack mount configuration).

The DCS9550 1S1 Storage Expansion Unit is housed in a 4 x 4 enclosure, that is, 4 bays wide by 4 bays high.

•The front bays are numbered 1 to 4 from left to right, as viewed from the front. Bays are numbered from 1 (top row) to 4 (bottom row). Drive Carrier Module locations are identified from a matrix of the top and side numbers.

•The rear bays are numbered 1 to 5 from right to left, as viewed from the rear.
