Got a new disk shelf with only 25 disks--how to I load the shelves?

kevincorrie — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:32:08 GMT

I got a new disk shelf to add capacity to my 5760 SAN. The shelf only came with 25 disks, but of course there are 60 bays in the shelf. How do I load the disks into the shelf? Do I just load disks into bays 0-4 on each shelf?

Thanks for the help.

I just found out that bays 0, 3, 6, and 9 should be loaded up first.

Hi Kevin,

Have a look at the bottom-left corner of this document.

Let me know if that helps.
