Physical Placement

The MultiPack-FC unit weighs from 12.7 to 14.7 kg (28.0 to 32.5 lb.) when fully
equipped with six disk drives. Choose a location that is relatively permanent.
Keep cable lengths in mind if you use the HSSDC connector. For Fibre Channel
operation, the cable you connect to the on-board host port of your computer must be
no longer than 10 meters.
Because the drive access panel opens at the left side of the unit, place the
MultiPack-FC unit (with the front facing you) at the left side of your computer, or
where the panel can open freely. Place the MultiPack-FC unit on its feet
(FIGURE 1-5).
