Disk array physical specifications
Use the information in this section to determine the total dimensions and weight for your
specific array configuration. You will need these values to complete other procedures
in this chapter.
The following figure shows the disk array equipment racks.
Primary rack
In the basic configuration, the disk array consists of one primary 19-inch rack containing
the following:
•
One disk controller with control panel and SVP blade PC
•
One 60-disk chassis, consisting of two 30-drive HDU boxes
•
Mix board with disk adapters and host ports
•
Power supplies, power distribution units (PDUs), backup batteries, power cords,
and cabling
Primary rack expansion
You can expand the primary rack as follows:
•
Add one 60-disk chassis containing two 30-drive HDU boxes to the top space of
the primary rack. This provides a total of 120 drives.
Second rack
After expanding the primary rack, you can add a second 19-inch rack with additional
disk units as follows:
•
Add one 60-disk chassis to the second rack for a total of 180 drives
•
Add a second 60-disk chassis to the second rack for a total of 240 drives
Disk array basic storage includes disk chassis R0 in the primary rack. Add more disk
chassis in the order shown in the figure: R1, R2, R3.
