SAS Controller Slots – The SAS controller cards for the server media harddrives use slot 1, 3 and 4 on the 24D and 24EX and slot 4 on the 8D (with latestTerraBlock models).

This can be all FibreChannel HBA’s (up to 8 direct connect FC ports), all 10Gbit Ethernet (up to 8direct connect 10Gbit Ethernet ports) or a combination of both. This may alsoinclude 1G Ethernet hardware. Some HBA’s may need to be removed to free aslot if the server is fully populated. PSU Alert Mute Button (24D, 24EX) – The enclosure sounds an alarm beepwhenever it detects a power supply or fan failure. The Mute button stops thealarm until the next error occurs. Pressing the Mute button only silences thealarm—it does not correct the condition that caused it. |
