The PS6500 is a 48 disk drive platform. The disks are inserted from the top once the chassis has been carefully pulled out of the rack.

The top cover should not be removed unless when servicing the array. If the cover is left off for an extended length of time, then it disturbs the air flow consistency within the chassis.
