Dummy carrier modules
Dummy carrier modules are provided for fitting in all unused drive bays. They are designed as
integral drive module front caps and must be installed in all unused drive bays to maintain a
balanced airflow.
Blank modules
Caution
Operation of the enclosure with any modules missing disrupts the airflow and the
drives do not receive sufficient cooling. All openings must be filled before operating the
enclosure.
When only one controller module is installed, a blank module must be installed in the vacant
controller module slot at the rear of the enclosure to maintain airflow and ensure correct
operation.
Important
Do not mix Disk I/O modules and RAID Controller modules in the same enclosure. Disk
I/O modules are only installed in the expansion enclosure and RAID Controllers are only
installed in the RAID enclosure.
