Disk Drive Enclosures
Cabling IOAM Enclosures
This Figure shows two IOAM enclosures connected to a NonStop S-series processor
enclosure.
Disk Drive Enclosures
A disk drive enclosure contains up to fourteen Fibre Channel arbitrated loop disk
drives. These disk drives connect to the server by way of FCSAs in IOAM enclosures.
Disk drive enclosures are installed in modular cabinets or 19-inch racks.
Disk drive enclosures are supported on NonStop S76000, S86000, series and later
servers.
Disk Drive Enclosure Components
The front of a disk drive enclosure has fourteen disk drive slots. The slots are
numbered 1 to 14 from left to right.
The disk drives are Fibre Channel drives. Two disk drive models are available: 73 GB
and 146 GB. 73 GB and 146 GB can be mixed but not mirrored to each other. Any slot
that does not contain a disk drive must be covered by disk drive blanks.
Note. For more information about disk drive enclosures, the Modular I/O Installation and
Configuration Guide is available to your HP trained service provider. This manual is located in
the NTL Hardware Service and Maintenance collection.
