1. Preface 

The  storage  subsystem  is  a  passive  system  that  can  be  directly  attached  for  data  management  or  for 

expanding the hard disk capacity of connected servers. 

With  2  height  units  (HU),  the  storage  subsystem  satisfies  the  requirements  of  both  compactness  and 

maximum hard disk capacity in 19-inch rack infrastructures.
