FibreSTORE RAID System: Rack Installation Guide
Supported Rack Configurations
Ciprico supports four certified configurations of FibreSTORE RAID components in a
Ciprico rack. The product numbers for these rack configurations are:
• AAMK36A
• AAMK36A2
• AAMK36A3
• AAMK36A4
In the following pages, each rack configuration is described for a fully-loaded rack. If your
rack is not going to be fully loaded, leave the bottom slots empty and cover them with filler
panels.
Configuration for One RAID System (AAMK36A)
Figure 3 shows a front view of a fully-loaded rack with:
• Filler panels. These should be located as shown in the figure to
guarantee air flow for cooling.
• FibreSTORE RAID controller enclosure. This should be
located in the top position.
• Disk enclosures. These should be installed directly below the
FibreSTORE RAID controller enclosure. Any empty slots
should be located near the bottom of the rack.
• The Cache Retention Unit (CRU) is always located at the
bottom of the rack.
