Fibre Channel drive enclosures
The drive enclosure contains the disk drives used for data storage. A storage system includes
multiple drive enclosures. The major components of the enclosure are:
•
3U enclosure
•
Dual redundant, active-to-active 2 Gbps FC loops
•
2.125-Gbps, dual loop, 14-drive enclosure
•
Dual 2 Gbps FC I/O modules (A and B loops)
•
Copper Fibre Channel cables
•
Fibre Channel disk drives and drive blanks
•
Dual redundant power supplies
•
Dual redundant blowers
•
Environmental Monitoring Unit (EMU)
Enclosure layout
The disk drives mount in bays in the front of the enclosure. The bays are numbered sequentially
from left to right. A drive is referred to by its bay number. Enclosure status indicators are located
in the lower-right, front corner.
Figure 6 (page 20) shows the front and rear views of the FC drive
enclosure.
