Disk Drive Drawer printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies
Each disk drive drawer in a 5U84 storage shelf uses a printed circuit board (PCB)
assembly to provide the electrical connectivity to the drawer's disk drives.
Along with providing the electrical connectivity to the disk drives, PCB assemblies
also provide:
■ Mounting platforms for the drawer cabling system
■ Redundant power paths to each disk drive
■ Redundant 12Gb/s SAS signal paths to each disk drive
■ Provide technical feedback to the system when a drawer is opened or closed.
PCB assemblies include the following components:
■ Three drawer Baseplane cards
■ One right side Drawer Sideplane card
■ One left side Drawer Sideplane card
