EX3000 upgrade paths

Describes the EX3000 ECS appliance upgrade paths.
If there are five or more nodes (single node configurations) or six or more nodes (dual node configurations) in the system
(VDC) with the same disk size and disk quantity, the minimum node expansion is one (single node configurations) or 2 (dual
node configurations). This upgrade is possible when the expansion node has the same disk size and disk quantity of the existing
nodes. For example, you have an EX3000 appliance with five nodes containing 45x12TB disks (540 TB). You can add a single
node with 45x12TB disks or a total disk capacity of 540 TB.
If you are adding nodes that have different disk sizes than the nodes currently in the system, you must add a minimum of
five nodes at a time (six for dual node configurations). For example, you have an EX3000 appliance with five nodes containing
45x12TB drives. If you want to add nodes of different drive size (16 TB), you must add five or more nodes (six or more nodes for
dual node configurations), at a time.
NOTE: All drives within a node must be of the same drive size, but there can be nodes of differing drive sizes within a rack.
You can add drives to partially populated EX3000 nodes. The following drive upgrades are supported:
● Convert EX3000S-45 to EX3000S-60.
● Convert EX3000S-60 to EX3000S-90.
● Convert EX3000D-30 to EX3000D-45.

EX3000 server

This topic describes about features of EX3000 server.
The EX3000 4U server contains the EX3000 chassis and either one server sled (in the EX3000S single node configuration) or
two server sleds (in the EX3000D dual node configuration). EX3000 servers have the following standard features:
● One-node or two-node servers (4U) with two CPUs per node
● Dual 8-core Broadwell CPU per node. E5-2620v4 8-core/16-thread 2.1GHz 20M cache 85W
● 4x16GB RDIMM, 2400MT/s, Dual Rank, x8 Data Width
● One system disk per node (480 GB SSD)
● LED indicators for each node
● Dual hot-swap chassis power supplies per node
● One SAS adapter with two SAS ports per node
