Modular Building Blocks
A Model 2200 controller enclosure can support up to six Model 4214R disk
enclosures or three Model 4254 disk enclosures.
A typical building block using Model 4214R disk enclosures (single-bus)
consists of one Model 2200 controller enclosure with one to six Model 4214R
disk enclosures. Typically, when more than three disk enclosures are used, the
first three would be installed under the Model 2200 controller enclosure, the
next three would be installed on top of the controller enclosure (see Figure 2).
