System overview

Enclosure configuration

The Exos E 4U106 storage system fits within four rack space units. See
low profile (1-inch high) 3.5" form factor drive modules vertically in 4U of rack space (hence, the term '4U106').
Alternatively, each drive slot can hold a low profile (5/8-inch high) 2.5" form factor drive with an adapter within
the large form factor carrier.
Each individual drive is hot pluggable and replaceable on site. Drive modules must be installed during system setup
after the enclosure is mounted on rails in the rack.
NOTE: Throughout this guide—and the management interface documents used with this guide—I/O module
(IOM) is a general term denoting an IOM (expansion canister).
The enclosure configurations—including chassis and FRUs—are described on the following pages. Refer to
