Description
Contains two control modules, two power supply and cooling
modules, and eight or 16 disks, either Serial Attached SCSI
(SAS) disks or Serial ATA (SATA) disks.
PS5000 arrays support two types of control modules, depending
on the disks installed in the array:
• Type 4 control modules (gray face plate) for use with SAS
disks (black disk release button).
• Type 5 (olive face plate) control modules for use with
SATA disks (gray disk release button).
See the PS Series Release Notes for the latest supported control
modules.
Do not mix control module types in an array. Also, make sure
the disk type is compatible with the control module type.
Note: This manual shows PS5000 arrays with Type 5 control
modules installed. The information is also applicable to
arrays with Type 4 control modules.
