Configuration for Two RAID Systems (AAMK36A2)
Figure 4 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.

• Disk enclosures. If you are using fewer than three
disk enclosures in any System, leave the slot(s) at
the bottom of that System empty.
• The two Cache Retention Units (CRUs) are always
located at the bottom of the rack.
