2.3 Subsystem Components
All the active components on the subsystem can be accessed through either the front or rear
panel. The modular design of the active components facilitates their easy installation and
removal. Hot-swap mechanisms are incorporated to eliminate power surges and signal
glitches that might occur while removing or installing these modules.
2.3.1 LCD Panel
Fig. 2.6 Opening the Front Handle
The LCD panel shown in Figure 2.6 consists of a 16 characters x 2 rows LCD screen with push
buttons, a mute button, and LED status indicators. The LCD front panel provides full access to
all array configurations and monitoring. After powering up the subsystem, the initial screen
will show the subsystem model name. A different name can be manually assigned to the sub-
system or different drive arrays. This will enable easier identification in a topology consisting
of numerous arrays.
Fig. 2.7 Front Panel Retention Latch
To access drive bays in the left- or right-hand side column, first flip the retention latches (see
Figure 2.7) on the enclosure front handles, and then swing the handles to the left- and right-
hand sides. To close the handles (see Figure 2.8), swing the handles toward the system; gen-
tly press the handles until a click is heard. The latches will keep the handles in place.
