Figure 15 Fully loaded 42U racks for three Slammers and 32 FC Bricks
Note: The physical Brick names used above are for illustration and indicate the
physical location of the Brick in the rack. The actual names or logical names, as
seen in the Pillar Axiom Storage Services Manager, can be different. The logical
location or numbering of each Brick is determined during the installation and
follows the scheme Brick001, Brick002, Brick003, and so on.
Note: Filler panels should be mounted wherever an airflow path short-circuit
could exist. Filler panels should be mounted on the front rails to fill any spaces
below the Pilot or the lowest Pillar Axiom 600 component in the rack. Single
Phase PDUs are mounted on the rear rails so that there are filler panels in the
front. Three-phase PDUs are mounted on the front rails so that there is no need
for the filler panels or the 2U of space above them.
Note: Any components that are not installed must be replaced with filler panels.
Also, 2U of space is reserved above the PDUs for cable routing. Three-phase
PDUs already have 2U of space and do not need the cable routing space. The
number and type of PDUs depends on the power service. If more PDUs are
needed, or when you need to add additional components into the rack (such as
adding another Slammer), everything has to move up to make room, keeping the
2U of reserved space and moving any Bricks displaced at the top to the next rack.
If only two Slammers are being installed, replace Slammer 3 with two filler panels.
