Enclosures
Enclosures
An enclosure is an assembly that contains the system hardware, such as processors,
disk drives, extenders, adapters, power supplies, and fans.
An enclosure consists of a chassis containing most of the system hardware, a frame,
cable management hardware, and doors, and, on certain models, a power shelf
containing power supplies.
Enclosure
An enclosure is the server chassis mounted in a frame.
System Enclosure
A system enclosure is either a processor enclosure or an I/O enclosure. All system
enclosures use identical chassis and can contain the following components:
•
Disk drives
•
Components related to the ServerNet fabrics
•
Components related to electrical power
•
Cable-management hardware
•
Cooling fans
