I/O Drawers
Your system has a 10 EIA Unit I/O Drawer as described below.
10 EIA Unit I/O Drawer
The 10 EIA Unit I/O Drawer features hot-pluggable disk drive banks shown in the
following figure. Disk drive banks allow system users to insert and remove disk drives
without performing a power down of the system which increases the availability of the
server. The 10 EIA Unit I/O Drawer is powered by 200 - 240 V ac.
The disk drive banks are each able to hold up to six one-inch by 3.5-inch form factor
drives, or three 1.6-inch drives.
When the drawer has the maximum configuration, it holds up to 12 one-inch by 3.5-inch
form factor 16-bit disk drives mounted on carriers and 2 media devices. If the drawer is
fully populated with 1.6-inch disk drives, it holds only 6 disk drives. The disk drives are
mounted in carriers that are auto docking, auto addressing, and hot swappable.
