5U84 storage shelf drawers and disk drives

Each storage shelf includes 2 drawers with 42 disk drive slots each for a total of 84 slots. The following diagrams describe the disk layout for the top drawer and the bottom drawer. The slot numbers start at the front left side of the drawer. Slot numbers end in the last row at the right rear of the drawer. The top drawer contains slots 0 through 41. The bottom drawer contains slots 42 through 83.

The following diagrams show all of the slots in each drawer. The photographs show the number of the first slot in each drawer.

In the top drawer, slot 41 contains a blank carrier instead of a carrier with a disk drive. The blank carrier is shown in blue.

In the bottom drawer, slot 83 contains a blank carrier instead of a carrier with a disk drive. The blank carrier is shown in blue.

Disk drives are not preconfigured prior to shipping. Any drive can be placed into any slot. After you have configured the nodes and storage shelves you cannot move disk drives to new locations.

Each disk drive is encased in a carrier. A label at the top, front end of the carrier identifies the storage capacity of the disk that is inside the carrier. Carriers that contain blanks are labelled "BLANK."
