Appliance front panel

The front panel of the appliance contains 12 hard disk drive slots and an LED panel.
Every NetBackup 5230 appliance contains 12 disk slots. They are numbered from
0 to 11, starting at the lower left-hand corner. The appliance has two SAS disks
that are installed in slots 0 and 1, which are used for the operating system and
mirrored RAID1 support. These two active system disks allow one of the disks to
be swapped out while the appliance is running.
Eight storage disks are installed in slots four through 11. The hot spare is in slot
11, in the top right-hand corner of the appliance.
The system disk drives are circled in red. The storage disk drives are circled in
yellow.
The NetBackup 5230 may not require a Symantec Storage Shelf to provide storage.
The standard appliance contains 1-TB storage disks which provide 4-TB of formatted
storage capacity. It is also possible to purchase 3-TB storage disks which provide
14-TB of available storage capacity. If additional storage is needed Symantec
Storage Shelves can be added.
A small panel is attached to the right side of the appliance. The panel contains
system LEDs and operations buttons. The LEDs provide information about the
