3.1 Chassis Description

Figure 13: Overview Image
The chassis is the primary housing that contains and connects all of the system components that comprise
the Ultrastar Serv60+8. The chassis is comprised of the drive bay that contains all of the system data storage
drives and a number of other bays that contain the major system components such as the PSUs and IOM.
Other system components are attached to the exterior of the chassis such as the rails to provide rackmounting
capability. The chassis also houses the baseboard which is mounted in the bottom of the chassis' tub and is
the primary data pathway that connects the HDDs to the IOM. The chassis has internal backflow preventers
to prevent hot air from re-entering the drives bays.
