Architecture and key components
IBM FlashSystem 900 enclosures include two fully redundant canisters. Each canister contains a RAID
controller, two interface cards, and a management controller with an associated 1 Gbps Ethernet port.
Each canister also has a USB port and two hot-swappable fan modules.
In addition to the canisters, IBM FlashSystem 900 enclosures include two battery modules and two power
supplies, which are all redundant and hot-swappable. All components are easily accessible from the front
or rear of the unit, so IBM FlashSystem 900 does not need to be moved in the rack, and any top access
panels or cables do not need to be extended. This configuration makes servicing the unit easy. The front
of the enclosure has the two battery modules on the far left of the enclosure, a LED indicator panel next to
this, and twelve IBM MicroLatency module slots to the right of the panel and battery modules, as shown in
Figure 3.
