Chapter 2: Installation ♦ Capacity (MB / GB) –Use drives with the same capacity. RAID arrays use a “least- common-denominator” approach. The maximum capacity of each drive the array can use is the maximum capacity of the smallest drive. Choose big drives of the same size. - Page 48 EonStor U16U Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Step 1. Make sure the key-lock is in the unlocked position. The key-lock is unlocked if the groove (on its face) is in a horizontal orientation. If the groove is in a vertical position, as shown in Figure 2- 4 then the key-lock is locked and the front flap on the drive tray cannot be opened.
- Page 49 Chapter 2: Installation Figure 2- 6: Drive Tray Key-Lock Rotation WARNING: All the drive trays (even if they do not contain a hard drive) must be installed into the enclosure. If they are not installed into the enclosure then the ventilation required for cooling will not be normalized and the subsystem will be irreparably damaged.
