Component Description
This section provides the detailed illustration and description for each component.
System Subrack
The system subrack houses a midplane to provide reliable connections for interface modules and to distribute power and signals to inner modules.
Expansion Module
An expansion module provides expansion ports for communication between a disk enclosure and a controller enclosure. Each expansion module provides a PRI expansion port and an EXP expansion port.
Ports
