Double-Wide Modules
Most modules in the AB7000 fit into single-wide bays. The InfiniBand
module and some other modules however (such as the 10GbE module),
require a double-wide bay and can only be installed in such a bay
created by combining the two right most bays. The enclosure's module
bays are designed to be easily modified from single to double-wide by
following the procedures below.
Setting up a Double-Wide Bay
Modifying an Enclosure's Module Bays for Double-wide Modules
1.
Remove the four screws that secure the inner enclosure to the
main enclosure. Slide the inner enclosure outward, depressing the
locking tabs on both sides to pull it completely out.
2.
Remove any single-wide modules that are occupying the bays you
wish to modify to a double-wide bay.
3.
In the module bay you wish to expand to double wide, remove the
two screws that secure the center support to the inner enclosure
then take out the center support. See Figure 2-53, Step 1 for
details.
4.
Remove the two screws from the underside of each of the two
horizontal spacer (as shown in Figure 2-52). See Figure 2-53, Step 2
for details.
5.
Using four screws, install the long horizontal spacer to the same
space where the two short spacer werse removed. See Figure 2-54,
Step 3 for details.
6.
You can now install a double-wide module into the bay. See
Figure 2-54, Step 4 for details.
Note: This procedure describes modifying two right most single-
wide bays located at the top of the inner enclosure. The same
procedure applies to the two right most single bays located at the
bottom of the enclosure, but note that the horizontal spacer in
the bottom bays use a guide pin and are not interchangeable with
the upper bay spacers (see Figure 2-52 for details).
