ABSTRACT:
A module for a storage system is capable of accessing disk drives in a particular order regardless of its orientation. The module accesses the drives in the same order whether it is installed in a first orientation or in a second, inverted orientation. The module includes a plurality of disk controllers. Each disk controller is coupled to one or more disk drives. The disk controllers are mounted on the module so that when the module is coupled to the disk drives in a first orientation, the disk controllers are coupled to the disk drives in a particular order. When the module is coupled to the disk drives in a second orientation inverted relative to the first orientation, the disk controllers are coupled to the disk drives is the same particular order.
