EonStor A16E-G2130-4 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual

1.2.1Drive Trays

Figure 1-6: Drive Tray Front View

PN: IFT-9273CDTray

The A16E-G2130-4 subsystem comes with sixteen (16) drive trays (see Figure 1-6) designed to accommodate separately purchased, standard 1-inch pitch, 3.5-inch SATA-II disk drives. The drive bays are accessible from the enclosure front panel. Two (2) LEDs on the front bezel indicate the operating statuses. A key-lock on each drive tray secures the hard drive in place, while a release button enables fast retrieval of a hard drive.

WARNING!

Be careful not to warp, twist, or contort the drive tray in any way (e.g., by dropping it or resting heavy objects on it). The drive tray has been customized to fit into the drive bays of the subsystem. If the drive bay superstructure is deformed or altered, the drive trays may not fit into the drive bays.

1.2.2The RAID Controller Module

PN:

IFT-83AE21GE164 (without DDR RAM)

 

IFT-83AE21GE1645 (with 512MB DDR RAM)

The default size for the DDR RAID controller module is 512MB. RAID controller module contains a main circuit board, a preinstalled 512MB capacity or above DDR RAM DIMM module, and the controller module interfaces. The controller module contains no user-serviceable components. Except when installing/upgrading the cache memory inside, the controller module should never be removed or opened.

WARNING!

Although the RAID controller can be removed, the only time you should touch the controller itself is to install the memory modules. The RAID controller is built of sensitive components and unnecessary tampering can damage the controller.
