Enclosure chassis
The chassis is installed with 48.26-cm (19-inch) rack-mounting features, which
enable it to be installed to standard 48.26-cm (19-inch) racks. One chassis occupies
two units of rack space (3.5 inches or 8.89 cm high).
The backplane PCB provides 12 direct dock SAS/SATA connectors to the drives
and acts as the connectivity hub of the enclosure, connecting to the enclosure
management PCB.
The ten cooling fans are connected to the system by the enclosure management
PCB.
There are 12 drive bays at the front of the enclosure. Each drive bay accommodates
a plug-in drive carrier module that can house one low-profile 2.54-cm (1-inch) high
Figure 4. Enclosure subsystem front view
Figure 5. Enclosure chassis
Chapter 2. Features 5

8.89-cm (3.5-inch) form factor drive. In addition, two 6.35-cm (2.5-inch) boot drives
can be installed in the boot drive module.
Note: A bay is defined as the space required to house a single 2.54-cm (1.0-inch)
high 8.89-cm (3.5-inch) disk drive in its carrier module (limitation of 1 TB
size).
At the rear, the chassis assembly accommodates one PSU and a server board
subsystem.
A top cover on the enclosure provides access to the cooling fans and the server
board subsystem.
Note: The enclosure cover should only be removed by qualified service personnel
as it provides access to a service area. Upon replacement, the cover MUST
be secured by tightening the lock mechanism to the locked position with a
screwdriver.
Server board subdivision
The server board subdivision consists of:
v An Intel Server Board S5000PSL
v Slots for up to six low-profile 1.905-cm (3/4-inch) PCI cards, installed in a
vertical orientation. The following PCBs are installed as standard configuration:
– An Intel RAID Controller SRCSATAWB, in the left-hand slot (when viewed
from the rear)
v A boot drive module, which contains two 6.35-cm (2.5-inch) SATA boot drives
Server board I/O panel
The server board I/O panel consists of various connectors and LEDs.

Server board LEDs
Status LEDs: Diagnostic LEDs are located on the server board I/O panel to assist
in identifying failed and failing components. See “Server board LEDs” on page 25
for a summary of status LED states.
NIC LEDs: The NIC LEDs at the right and left of each NIC port provide
information on NIC status. See “I/O panel NIC LEDs” on page 25 for a summary
of NIC LED states.
Front operator's panel
A front operator’s panel, consisting of a USB port, three LEDs and three
push-button switches, are located on the front of the enclosure.
Note: The front operator’s panel is an integral part of the enclosure assembly and
is not field replaceable.

A rear panel, consisting of a blue enclosure ID LED (see Figure 2 on page 3), is
located on the rear of the enclosure.
Note: The rear panel is an integral part of the enclosure assembly and is not field
replaceable.

Power supply unit
AC-DC power is provided by a power supply with specific load capability,
mechanical packaging, and output connectors to suit this product.
A power supply mounting cage is installed in the rear of the enclosure as part of
the subsystem core product. The cage houses one individually hot pluggable
850-W AC power supply unit (PSU) with its own IEC inlet connector and failure
indicator.
8 User Guide

Power supply unit voltage operating ranges are nominally 100V - 240V AC,
selected automatically.
The PSU has an audible alarm to indicate a fault state and a bi-color (green/red)
LED to indicate PSU status.
Power supply output connectors
The power supply output connectors provide the following outputs:
v P1 server board main power connector (1 x 24 pin)
v P2 processor power connector (8 pin)
v P3 12-V power connector
v P4 peripheral power connector (2 x 4 pin)
v P5 PSU1 connector (5 pin)
Cooling fans
Ten high-speed single-rotor axial fans are housed in a cooling cage, located
centrally within the enclosure, between the drive bays and the server board, as
shown in Figure 2 on page 3. This ensures maximum airflow through the PSU and
minimizes noise.
Figure 9. Power supply unit
Chapter 2. Features 9

Airflow is front to rear with cooling air being drawn across the drives, through the
fans and pressurizing the rear of the enclosure. The pressurized rear allows the
PSU to draw the air that it requires; perforations at the rear of the chassis allow
cooling air to flow over the processor heatsinks, server board and PCI cards.
The cooling system must be operated with low-pressure rear exhaust installation
(back pressure created by rack doors and obstacles not to exceed 5 pascals [0.5mm
Water gauge]).
The cooling system provides sufficient capacity to ensure that drive maximum
temperatures have not exceeded at 35°C (95°F) with one failing fan at sea level.
The cooling cage contains ten individual high-speed single-rotor axial fans,
individually connected to and interfacing with the enclosure management PCB.
This interface provides power and speed control to the fans and returns speed
output from each fan to the management system.
Drive carrier module
The drive carrier module consists of a hard disk mounted in a drive carrier. Each
drive bay can house a single low-profile 2.54-cm (1.0-inch) high, 8.89-cm (3.5-inch)
form factor SATA disk drive in its drive carrier. The drive carrier has mounting
locations for SATA drives.
Each disk drive is enclosed in a sheet steel carrier which provides excellent thermal
conduction, radio frequency and electro-magnetic induction protection, as well as
affords the drive with maximum physical protection.
The front cap of the drive carrier supports an ergonomic handle, which provides
the following functions:
v Camming of drive carrier into and out of drive bays.
v Positive "spring loading" of the drive/backpane connector.
Figure 10. Cooling fan
10 User Guide

Drive status indicator
Disk drive status, under ESI processor control, is monitored by two LEDs (a green
LED and an amber LED) mounted on the front cap of each drive carrier module.
See “Disk drive LEDs” on page 21 for a description of LED states.

Anti-tamper locks
Anti-tamper locks are installed in each drive carrier handle and are accessed with a
TORX screwdriver through the small cutout in the latch section of the handle.
When activated, the locks disable the normal "pinch" latch action of the drive
carrier handle. A drive is locked when the red lock symbol appears in the indicator
opening.
