2 <strong>VNX5500</strong> <strong>Dense</strong> Rack <strong>Installation</strong> <strong>Addendum</strong><br />
VNX systems are available utilizing the dense-storage capabilities of the 60-disk<br />
dense disk-array enclosure (DAE7S). This DAE is 4U high and can include up to 60<br />
disks in one drawer. This dense-storage system is installed in a cabinet (40U-D) that is<br />
5” deeper than a standard <strong>EMC</strong> cabinet.<br />
The <strong>VNX5500</strong> dense configuration includes the following components in the cabinet:<br />
◆ 1U Standby Power Supply<br />
◆ 3U Disk Processor Enclosure, with either fifteen 3.5” disks or twenty-five 2.5”<br />
disks (Figure 1)<br />
◆ one or more of the dense Disk Array Enclosures (DAE7S)<br />

Introduction<br />
The VNX series supports two different types of DAEs in the dense configurations:<br />
◆ a 3U 15-slot 3.5” disk DAE (Figure 2)<br />
◆ a 4U 60-slot 3.5” disk DAE (Figure 3 on page 4)<br />

Note: The 4U 60 slot DAE (DAE7S) loads disks from the top, unlike the front-loading 3U model.<br />
For more information on DAEs, see the <strong>VNX5500</strong> Hardware Information Guide.<br />
The <strong>VNX5500</strong> can include a mixture of the DAEs. Any configuration which includes<br />
the DAE7S requires a deep cabinet.

<strong>VNX5500</strong> Block<br />
Configuration<br />
Unpacking and cabling<br />
The <strong>VNX5500</strong> in a dense rack configuration arrives fully cabled from the factory. The<br />
only cabling that may be required involves cabling multiple cabinets together (the<br />
SAS cables connecting DAEs) and cabling to the network. See the cabling directions in<br />
the appropriate <strong>VNX5500</strong> installation guide and the instructions for adding<br />
additional DAEs and additional buses in the <strong>VNX5500</strong> Hardware Information Guide for<br />
details.<br />
The <strong>VNX5500</strong> has 2 SAS ports in the DPE for connection to DAEs. In addition, it<br />
supports a SAS I/O module in the DPE in order to add 4 additional back-end buses.<br />
Thus, a <strong>VNX5500</strong> system can have either its disk capacity configured over 2 buses or 6<br />
buses.<br />
Note: There is no provision for moving disks or enclosures from one bus to another. It is<br />
possible to add additional storage to new or existing buses.<br />
The system as delivered in the cabinet will have the number of disks load-balanced<br />
over the number of buses.<br />
The Block configuration includes a disk processor enclosure (DPE), a 1U 1.2 KW<br />
standby power supply (SPS), and [optional] disk-array enclosures (DAEs) for holding<br />
hard disk drives.<br />

If the Block configuration has space reserved for future or potential File upgrade to a<br />
Unified configuration, the system will be racked a bit differently. The system will<br />
leave 4U of rack space between the DPE and DAE 0. See Figure 6 on page 7. This space<br />
is reserved for installation of the 2U data mover enclosure and either one or two 1U<br />
Control Stations.<br />

The <strong>VNX5500</strong> dense system can include up to three of the 4U 60 slot DAEs (DAE7S).<br />
Additional drives to the 250-disk capacity can be added by utilizing 3U DAEs above<br />
the DAE7S. See Figure 7 on page 8.<br />

The File and Unified configurations include the 3U disk processor enclosure (DPE), a<br />
1U 1.2 KW standby power supply (SPS), one or two 2U data mover enclosures, one or<br />
two 1U Control Stations, and one or more DAE7S disk-array enclosures for disk<br />
drives.<br />
Again, additional drives up to the 250-disk capacity can be added by utilizing 3U<br />
DAEs above the DAE7S.
