Maximum duplexed storage capacity is 126 GB per disk shelf, 252 GB per DNCP Series 400 (PA-8500) cabinet (63GB
per disk shelf, 126GB per system logical storage).
Located at the bottom of the cabinet are duplexed logic suitcases. These suitcases house the system's central logic
functions: the Hewlett-Packard CPUs, memory modules, and console controller, which is the system's central collection

If the logic suitcases have a vinyl protective covering on the front, remove the covering once the system cabinet is in place.
Optional air filters are located below the suitcases, on the front of the disk shelves, and on the front of the two power
