The basic unit of the SGI TP900 storage system is the enclosure, which contains the disk
drives arranged in two rows of 4 drives, and the drive backplane in the front. The I/O,
power supply (PSU), and fan modules are located at the rear of the chassis. The chassis
uses two EIA units of rack space, and is fitted with 19-inch rack-mounting features,
which enable it to be mounted into standard 19-inch racks.
Figure 1-1 shows the front of the enclosure, with the full complement of 8 disk drive
modules.
