Figure 14 Numbering of Chassis Bays in the Cabinet

A storage system can be housed in a single cabinet or multiple cabinets. When multiple cabinets
are required, the first cabinet (the controller node cabinet) holds the system backplane populated
with controller nodes. Any additional cabinets, or drive chassis cabinets, hold the additional drive
chassis that do not fit into the controller node cabinet.
Table 8 (page 27) describes the pattern for cabinet numbering in multi-cabinet storage systems
and for operating sites with multiple systems:

Figure 15 (page 28) shows the location of system components for T400 and T800 controller node
cabinets. Figure 16 (page 29) shows the location of system components for drive chassis cabinets.
