The fronts of the Controller Node Enclosure and expansion Drive Enclosures contain the Drive Bays for
installing the drives for the storage system. Each Drive Bay is assigned a number for locating Drives in
the storage system.
Description
This power connection requires a power cable to be attached between the
power supply and an independent electrical source. This electrical source
must support the entire power load of the enclosure and have its own
circuit breaker.
The 10-character serial number for the storage system is required for the
software setup. The serial number is on the Controller Node Enclosure
next to the rightmost Power Cooling Module (PCM 1) power switch.
