LaCie 12big Rack Fibre 8 System Overview
User Manual page 9
1.3. Enclosure Chassis
The 12big Rack Fibre 8 storage system design concept is based on
an SBB-compliant enclosure subsystem together with a set of plug-in
modules.
The 12big Rack Fibre 8 RAID enclosure as supplied consists of:
✦ Chassis and midplane with integral front flange mounted op-
erator panel (1.3.3. Operator’s Panel).
✦ 12 front loading drive carrier slots that support either SAS or
SATA disk drives. SATA drives require an Active/Active MUX
transition card to be installed (1.4.5. Drive Carrier Module).
IMPORTANT INFO: Dummy Carriers modules must be installed
in all unused drive slots to maintain airflow, please refer to 1.4.5.4.
Dummy Carrier Modules.
✦ Two plug-in Power Cooling Modules (PCMs): 100-240V AC,
580W (1.4.1. Power Cooling Module).
✦ Two plug-in RAID Controller Modules each with Embedded
StorView Storage Management software (2.4.2. Drive Carrier
Module).
IMPORTANT INFO: If only one RAID Controller module is in-
stalled, then a Blank I/O module must be installed in the unused
bay. The primary RAID Controller should be installed in Bay #0
(upper most bay) and the secondary RAID Controller in Bay #1 (the
lower most bay), see Fig. 02.
✦ The chassis will consume 4 EIA units of rack space in a stan-
dard 19 inch rack cabinet. The rail mounting system is in-
cluded with the enclosure.

✦ Two plug-in Power Cooling Modules (PCM): 100-240V AC,
580W (1.4.1. Power Cooling Module).
✦ Two plug-in Disk I/O Modules (2.4.2. Drive Carrier Module).
IMPORTANT INFO: If only one Disk I/O Module is installed, then
a Blank I/O module must be installed in the unused bay. The pri-
mary Disk I/O Module should be installed in Bay #0 (upper most
bay) and the secondary Disk I/O Module in Bay #1 (the lowest most
bay), see Fig. 03.
