LaCie 12big Rack Fibre 8 User Manual System Overview page 12 1.4. The Plug-in Modules A LaCie 12big Rack Fibre 8 enclosure requires the following modules for normal operation: ✦✦ (2) 580W AC Power Cooling Modules. ✦✦ (1 or 2) LaCie 12big Rack Fibre 8 RAID Controller module(s) for the 12big Rack Fibre 8. ✦✦ (1 or 2) Disk I/O Modules for the 12big Rack Fibre Expansion enclosure. ✦✦ (1 to 12) Drive Carrier modules with either SAS or SATA disk drives. 1.4.1. Power Cooling Module CAUTION: To prevent overheating, do not operate the enclosure with a PCM removed for more than 10 minutes. Up to two 100-240V 580W dual fan power cooling modules are supplied at the rear of the enclosure as part of the enclosure core product (Fig. 06). This system provides an N+1 redundant power configuration. If a PCM fails, the system will continue to operate normally up to 24 hours on the remaining PCM until the failed module is replaced. Each PCM features an ON/OFF switch and four LEDs that provide operational status information. The cooling fans are speed controlled via firmware. Should a firmware condition exists or a temperature threshold exceeded, the fans speed will be increased to a maximum value until the condition is corrected. The enclosure is designed to power up and operate with two power cooling modules and allows for a failure of one PCM while continuing normal operations. Two PCMs must always be installed. continued on the next page>> Fig. 06 - Power Cooling Module Fig. 07 - Power Cooling Module LEDs
