Figure 5. Enclosure: front view
The system uses 3.5" or 2.5" SAS drives. 2.5" drives require a 3.5" adapter. Each drive is hotpluggable
and can be replaced on site.
This enclosure is designed for high availability, with no single point of failure for data or power. It
complies to the Storage Bridge Bay (SBB) v2.0 specification, which specifies interconnects, power budgets,
power rails, mechanical and thermal form factors and footprints.
