WeA-1-2 PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT OF A NEW TYPE CHASSIS

This work reports the measurement results on a mock-up chassis that has the same structure as the center column of a real chassis to be developed. The reported results include the measurement data of throughput of each disk drive in the mock-up chassis, the temperature distribution in the mock-up chassis and the measured vibration level of the chassis as well as the reliability test of the chassis. Some critical factors that affect the throughput performance will be addressed and discussed. The suggestions to improve the chassis design will be mentioned based on our observations during the mock-up chassis testing and measurement.
