Fibre Channel Disk Module
The Fibre Channel disk module is a rackmounted enclosure that contains:
•
Up to 14 Fibre Channel arbitrated loop disk drives (enclosure front)
•
Environmental monitoring unit (EMU) (enclosure rear)
•
Fibre Channel arbitrated loop (FC-AL) modules (enclosure rear)
A Fibre Channel disk module connects to a FCSA in an IOAM enclosure. You can
daisy-chain together up to four Fibre Channel disk modules with 14 drives in each one.
