Figure 3 Example of a Block and File (Unified) VNX5300 platform (rear view)
Contained in a 7 to 8U architecture, the Block and File (Unified) VNX5300 platform weighs
approximately 206.7 lb (93.76 kg) to 229.7 lb (104.19 kg) fully loaded
type of disk drives used in the 3U DPE. With the 2U DME having the deepest dimension
within the cabinet, the Block and File (Unified) VNX5300 measures 12.25 to 14 inches (7
to 8U) high x 18.92 inches wide x 24.25 inches deep (31.11 to 35.56 cm x 48.05 cm x
61.59 cm). Between the front and rear of the enclosure, a midplane distributes power and
signals to all the enclosure components. The CPU modules and the power supply modules
plug directly into the midplane connections.
Note: The previously mentioned dimensions are approximate and do not include the
cabinet enclosure.
3. A fully loaded Block and File (Unified) VNX5300 platform (without any DAEs) includes two 1U
Control Stations, a 3U DPE (with two SPs), one dual 1U SPS, and one 2U Data Mover Enclosure
with one to two Data Movers. In this fully loaded Block and File (Unified) VNX5300 platform, the
DPE (with two SPs) can have either 15 (3.5-inch) drives or 25 (2.5-inch) drives. Separately, the 15
(3.5-inch) drives weigh 34 lb (15.42 kg) and the 25 (2.5-inch) drives weigh 13.5 lb (6.13 kg),
respectively.
