1.2 The Enclosure Core Product

The Altos S205F / S200F Storage System design concept is based on a subsystem together with a set
of plug-in modules. The Altos S205F / S200F Storage System subsystem as supplied comprises:
• Chassis and Backplane with integral Operators Panel.(See
• Up to 16 Serial ATA (SATA) Drive Carrier modules (See
• Dummy drive carrier modules.
• Two plug-in Power Supply/Cooling modules:
• Either one or two I/O Modules:
• Blank I/O module.

1.2.1 Enclosure Chassis

The chassis consists of a sheet metal enclosure assembly containing a Backplane printed circuit
board (PCB) and module runner system. This chassis assembly also includes an integral Operators
(Ops) Panel, mounted at the rear.
The chassis assembly contains 16 drive bays at the front, each of which accommodates a plug-in
drive carrier module. The 16 drive bays are arranged in 4 rows of 4 drives. At the rear, the chassis
assembly contains the integral ops panel module and four plug-in module bays to house two Power
Supply/Cooling modules and two Controller I/O modules.
The Backplane PCB provides logic level signal and low voltage power distribution paths.
