System Overview

Your system components are housed in a BA440 enclosure. It is a freestanding

pedestal that can house the following:

• Card cage

• System controls

• Central processing unit (CPU) module

• Memory modules

• Console module

• EF/RF-series Integrated Storage Elements (ISEs)

• TF-series or TK50, TK70 tape drives

• Q–bus option modules

• Power supply

• Fans

Using the dual-disk RF31T or RF35 or RF36, up to seven EF- to RF-series ISEs,

or up to six RF-series ISEs and a tape drive, can be mounted inside the BA440

enclosure.

System Overview 1–1

1.1 Front View and Physical Description

Your system has a divided door that restricts access to the system controls.

MLO-004032

A three-position rotary lock lets you lock the upper and lower doors, or just the

lower door. Opening the upper door lets you access controls for the EF/RF-series

Integrated Storage Elements (ISEs), tape drive, and System Control Panel (SCP).

Opening both doors lets you access all system controls and cable connections.
