Drive Bay Numbering Convention; Figure 11. Drive Bay Numbering; Table 3. Configuration Requirements - Intel SSR212CC User Manual

Hardware Installations and Upgrades
All modules and/or blanking plates must be in place for the air to flow correctly around
the storage system and to complete the internal circuitry.
Before beginning your storage system installation, review the configuration requirements
listed in

Drive Bay Numbering Convention

The drive bay numbering convention is shown in the following figure.
A bay is defined as the space required to house a single 1.0-in high 3.5-in disk drive in its
carrier module, e.g., a 1 x 4 bay bank would take the space of one drive width by four
drive bays across (in the rack mount configuration).
The Intel® Storage System SSR212CC subsystem is housed in a 4 x 3 enclosure, i.e., four
drive bays wide by three bays high. The top bays are numbered 1 to 4 from left to right, as
viewed from the front. Drive carrier module locations are identified from a matrix of the
top and side numbers. Additional drives must be populated in order from left to right, top
to bottom, beginning with Drive Bay 1 and ending with Drive Bay 12.
Warning: Operation of the enclosure with ANY modules missing will disrupt the airflow and the
drives will not receive sufficient cooling. It is ESSENTIAL that all apertures are filled
before operating the unit. Dummy drive carrier modules are available for fitting in unused
drive bays.

Table 3 for the Intel® Storage System SSR212CC.
To ensure proper airflow, ALL drive bays must be fitted with either a drive carrier or a
blank drive carrier. No bays should be left completely empty. A minimum of one drive
should be installed.
One power supply module must be installed in the power supply enclosure. Full power
redundancy is available by installing a second power supply module.
