Drive Trays

Figure 1-8: Drive Tray

The subsystems’ twenty-four (24) drive trays accommodate separately purchased,

standard 1-inch pitch, 3.5-inch disk drives. The drive bays are accessed through the front

of the enclosure. Two (2) LEDs on each tray bezel indicate the disk drive’s operation

status. A rotary bezel lock on each drive tray secures the hard drive in place, while a

release button can be used to open the front bezel.

WARNING!

Be careful not to warp, twist, or contort the drive tray in any way (e.g., by dropping

it or resting heavy objects on it). The drive tray has been customized to fit into the

drive bays in the subsystem and if it is deformed or altered it may not fit into the

drive bay.

NOTE:

The redundant-controller subsystem is shipped with twenty-four drive trays with

multiplexer (MUX) adapter boards. These MUX boards provide access routes for

different RAID controllers.

Please DO NOT use drive trays from a previous Galaxy model, GHDX-7376R6-

24F2D. They are not compatible.
