Enclosure subsystem

The SMC - Storage Array design concept is based on an enclosure subsystem
together with a set of plug-in modules and (as supplied) consists of:

v An enclosure chassis with:

– A backplane PCB

– An enclosure management PCB

– A SAS expander PCB, to branch from 4 to 12 SAS ports, supporting SATA

tunnelling protocol

– A front operator's panel

– An integral rear panel, incorporating an enclosure ID LED

– A power supply mounting cage containing one 850-W plug-in power supply

unit (PSU)

Note:

A server subsystem comprising:

v

– An Intel Server Board S5000PSL with integral I/O panel

– An Intel RAID Controller SRCSATAWB

– A boot drive module

A cooling module containing 10 high-speed, single-rotor axial fans, which are

v

individually pluggable

v 12 SATA hard drives

A blanking plate must be installed over the empty upper bay.

Enclosure chassis

The chassis is installed with 48.26-cm (19-inch) rack-mounting features, which
enable it to be installed to standard 48.26-cm (19-inch) racks. One chassis occupies
two units of rack space (3.5 inches or 8.89 cm high).

Figure 5. Enclosure chassis

The backplane PCB provides 12 direct dock SAS/SATA connectors to the drives
and acts as the connectivity hub of the enclosure, connecting to the enclosure
management PCB.

The ten cooling fans are connected to the system by the enclosure management
PCB.

There are 12 drive bays at the front of the enclosure. Each drive bay accommodates
a plug-in drive carrier module that can house one low-profile 2.54-cm (1-inch) high

Chapter 2. Features 5

8.89-cm (3.5-inch) form factor drive. In addition, two 6.35-cm (2.5-inch) boot drives
can be installed in the boot drive module.

A bay is defined as the space required to house a single 2.54-cm (1.0-inch)

Note:

high 8.89-cm (3.5-inch) disk drive in its carrier module (limitation of 1 TB
size).

At the rear, the chassis assembly accommodates one PSU and a server board
subsystem.

A top cover on the enclosure provides access to the cooling fans and the server
board subsystem.

The enclosure cover should only be removed by qualified service personnel

Note:

as it provides access to a service area. Upon replacement, the cover MUST
be secured by tightening the lock mechanism to the locked position with a
screwdriver.

Figure 6. Locking the enclosure cover

Server board subdivision

The server board subdivision consists of:

v An Intel Server Board S5000PSL

v Slots for up to six low-profile 1.905-cm (3/4-inch) PCI cards, installed in a

vertical orientation. The following PCBs are installed as standard configuration:

– An Intel RAID Controller SRCSATAWB, in the left-hand slot (when viewed

from the rear)

v A boot drive module, which contains two 6.35-cm (2.5-inch) SATA boot drives

Server board I/O panel

The server board I/O panel consists of various connectors and LEDs.
