ESCALA T610 and PL 600T Installation Guide
Disk Drive Options
Your system can have up to 14 disk drives installed: twelve disk drives installed in two
six–position hot–plug disk drive bays and two disk drives in a two–position bay, which is not
hot–pluggable. The disk drives are mounted in special carriers that allow the disk drives to
plug into the bay slots. When you install or remove disk drives, refer to the procedures in
this section.
Disk drives that are installed in either of the two six–position bays are referred to as
hot–pluggable disk drives.
The SCSI disk drive bays have light emitting diodes (LEDs) to identify the state of the disk
drive slot (1) shown in the figure below. The disk drive carriers also have status lights (2)
which are used to determine if the drive is active.
Note: The SCSI disk may have an optional second LED. If so, the bottom one is not used.
