Dual Configuration
With a dual configuration, the VSS2249RQ Storage Server includes two
VSSEP1EC Server Modules installed in the rear of the enclosure. By default,
Module 1 is installed in the left I/O slot and Module 2 is installed in the right slot.
Single-ported drives report only to Module 1. The dual server module
configuration is pictured in Figure 3.8.

Zoned Configurations
Drives are mapped according to their location within the enclosure and zoning of
the drives enables the user to control data access based on user, location, or
other criteria.
Drive Numbering & Zoning
Each of the 24 drives bays is numbered from 1 through 24. While facing the
front of the enclosure, drive numbering begins on the left and increases
incrementally from left to right. Each numbered drive is identified in Figure 3.9.
Figure 3.9 Drive numbering
Drive bays are then assigned to a drive group and each group is zoned to a
server module. All drives are visible to each server module by default. Contact a
Viking Enterprise Solutions support representative for more information on other
zoning configurations that might be available.

CAUTION: Hot-swapping a server module must be completed within five minutes to
prevent the drives from overheating. If a replacement will take longer than five minutes,
a canister blank must be installed in the empty I/O slot to ensure proper air circulation.
Contact a Viking Enterprise Solutions sales representative for information on obtaining
a canister blank.
