The drive mounting design incorporates a rail system with built-in connectors making it possible to “hot swap” a drive without shutting down the system. This design allows for easy installation with minimal force and latching clips to secure the drives into place.

Note: All drives in an array should be of the same capacity. If the drives are mixed, all of the drives in the array are assigned the capacity of the smallest size drive.

Power Switch

The power switch is located inside the locking front door and controls AC power to all of the power supplies. This positioning of the switch deters unauthorized users from powering down the DEU provided the door is locked. The switch is recessed to prevent inadvertent activation during service activity.

The switch is labeled with a “I” for the ON condition and “O” for the OFF condition and is illuminated when the power is on for easy identification. Depending on the orientation of the subsystem (i.e., in the rack configuration) the “I” label will appear as a — and should be interpreted as the ON condition.

Fault LEDs

Drive Fault LEDs are provided inside the front door to aide in identifying the failed (or problem) disk drive. These LEDs are aligned with their respective drive/drive bay. An illuminated LED (amber) indicates the failed or problem drive.

SAF - TE Card

The SAF-TE card contains the control and monitoring electronics for the subsystem cabinet. It provides the central data link between the enclosure and the host system.
