Component Description
Customer-provided
40U rack
The requirements for customer-provided racks to accommodate the EX3000 nodes are
described in the
ECS EX3000 Third-Party Rack Installation Guide
.
Back-end switches for
private network
connection
l
Two Dell EMC S5148F 25 GbE 1U ethernet switches with 48 x 25 GbE SFP ports and 6
x 100 GbE uplink ports
l
2 x 100 GbE VLT cables per HA pair
Front-end switches for
customer public
network connection
l
Two optional Dell EMC S5148F 25 GbE 1U ethernet switches can be obtained for
network connection or the customer can provide their own 25 GbE HA pair for the
front end.
l
If the customer provides their own front-end switches, they must supply all VLT cables,
SFPs, or external connection cables.
l
If Dell EMC S5148F 25 GbE front-end switches are used, 25 GbE ports connect to the
EX3000 nodes and 2 x 100 GbE VLT cables are provided.
Nodes
l
Up to eight server chassis in a rack.
l
Chassis are in one- and two-node configurations. (Each server chassis contains either
one or two nodes.) One-node chassis configuration is referred to as EX3000S and
dual-node chassis configuration is referred to as EX3000D.
l
Chassis have the following disk configurations (all disks are 12 TB):
n
EX3000S single node with 45, 60, and 90 disks
n
EX3000D dual node with 60 or 90 disks total (30 and 45 disks per node)
l
You cannot mix EX3000S nodes and EX3000D dual-node chassis in both Dell EMC and
customer-provided rack.
l
For chassis/node upgrades in the field, the nodes must match the existing drive
configuration. (In a system with EX3000S nodes with 90 disk drives, you can only add
EX3000S nodes configured with 90 disk drives. In a system with EX3000D nodes with
30 disk drives, you can only add EX3000D nodes configured with 30 disk drives (60
drives per chassis).
l
EX3000S node has a single server sled with the midplane routing to 90 drive slots.
Filler is in the second server sled.
l
EX3000D node has dual server sleds with the midplane routing each to 45 drive slots.
l
Single 480 GB SSD sysdisk per node (hot swappable)
l
64 GB RAM per node
l
Dual 8-core Broadwell CPU per node. E5-2620v4 8-core/16-thread 2.1GHz 20M cache
85W
l
4x 16GB RDIMM, 2400MT/s, Dual Rank, x8 Data Width
