1.1.3 Enclosure Chassis
1.1.3.1 Chassis Overview
The EonStor subsystem comes in a 2U metal chassis. A backplane board divides the
enclosure internally into front and rear sections. The front section accommodates
twelve (12) or eight (8) drive trays (with their associated hard drives) and the rear
section accommodates two (2) PSU modules, two (2) or three (3) single-fan cooling
modules, and a single RAID controller module. The two (2) forearm handles on the
front of the subsystem enable you to easily insert/extract the chassis into/from a rack
or cabinet. Pre-drilled mounting holes on the sides of the chassis allow you to attach
separately purchased slide rails.
