Drive Slot Numbering
You can install any suitable disk drive into any slot in the enclosure. See the illustra-
tions below for slot numbering on the 3U Vess A6600 /A7600, as well as the 4U Vess
A6800/A7800.
Slot numbering is reected in the GUI of the web-based system management user
interface.
Insert all of the drive carriers into the enclosure to ensure proper airow, even if you do
not populate all the carriers with disk drives.
Caution
The Vess models included in this guide support disk drive
hot-swapping. To avoid hand contact with an electrical
hazard, do not remove more than one drive carrier a
time.
