Figure 4 Numbering of Chassis Bays in the Cabinet
A storage system can be housed in a single cabinet or multiple cabinets. When multiple cabinets
are required, the first cabinet (the controller node cabinet ) holds the storage system backplane
populated with controller nodes. Any additional cabinets, or drive chassis cabinets , hold the
additional drive chassis that do not fit into the controller node cabinet.
Table 2 (page 11) describes the pattern for cabinet numbering in multi-cabinet storage systems
and for operating sites with multiple systems:

C01, C02, C03 ... C09Drive chassis cabinets connecting to the first node cabinet
Figure 5 (page 12) shows the location of system components for the T400 and T800 controller
node cabinets. Figure 6 (page 13) shows the location of system components for drive chassis
cabinets.
