I’ve had a Pansasas PAS-12 in my home lab for longer than I’d care to admit, now that it’s almost time to box the system up and send it away I figured it would be good to post some pictures of the system (and the unboxing …)
What follows are some of my favorite pictures. The full set can be found in my Infrastructure Flickr stream …

| One box for the director & storage blades, one box for the chassis itself |
|
| Packaged blade components |

| Unwrapped storage blade |

| Packaging is very well done, the layer underneath the bare chassis contains power supplies, battery unit and the misc. cables & switching blades. |
