Enclosure drive bay numbering convention
The enclosure drive bay numbering convention is shown in the illustration on page 16. A drive bay
is defined as the space required to house a single 1.0-inch high, 3.5-inch disk drive in its carrier
module.
Drive carrier configuration
When planning your system configuration, remember that all enclosure drive bays must be filled
with either a drive carrier or dummy drive carrier module. No bays should be left empty.
Enclosure installation procedures
The following procedures describe the installation of an enclosure and highlight any critical
requirements and good handling practices you should follow to ensure a successful installation.
Important
Drive carrier modules must always be installed in drive locations 1 and 12. This is the
minimum configuration required for the system to operate and provide SES Management
Services.
Important
Before you begin installation, you should become familiar with the configuration
requirements of your enclosure. There must be a drive present in drive locations 1 and 12
to enable SES communications to operate. Installing drives in both of these bays provides
redundant SES communication paths.
Warning
An enclosure with all component parts installed is too heavy for a single person to
safely install alone into a rack cabinet.
Caution
Make sure that you wear a suitable anti-static wrist or ankle strap and observe all
conventional ESD precautions when handling modules and components. Avoid contact with
such things as backplane components and module connectors.
