A RAID chassis accommodates two power supply FRUs of the same type, either both AC or both DC,
within the two power supply slots (see two instances of callout No.1 above). The RAID chassis
accommodates two controller I/O modules within the chasis (see callouts No.3 and No.4 above).
Caution:The configurations are dual-controller. Single-controller support is provided only when a
controller fails over to its partner controller. A controller I/O module must be installed in each slot to
ensure sufficient airflow through the chassis during operation.
Note:The chassis support hot-plug replacement of redundant I/O controller modules, fans, power
supplies, and expansion modules. Hot-add replacement of expansion chassis is also supported.
