Drawers - Seagate OneStor SP-3584 Installation & User Manual

2.3.1 Drawers

Each drawer contains 42 slots, each of which will accept a single DDIC containing a 3.5" drive or a 2.5"
drive with an adapter.
Opening a drawer does not interrupt the functioning of the system, and DDICs can be hot-swapped while
the enclosure continues to operate. However, drawers must not be left open for longer than two minutes,
otherwise airflow and cooling will be compromised.
The drawer is designed to support its own weight, plus the weight of any drives, when fully open.
Safety features:
• To reduce the possibility of toppling, only one drawer can be open at any one time.
• The drawer locks into place when opened all the way. To reduce pinching hazards, two latches must
be released before the drawer can be pushed back in.
Power and data are sent via three baseplanes and two sideplanes. The sideplanes ensure redundant power
and signal paths to each drive.
Each drawer can be locked shut by turning both anti-tamper locks clockwise using a screwdriver with a
Torx T20 bit (see
in Figure 2–4.

Important During normal operation, drawers must be kept shut to ensure correct airflow and cooling.
