System bay layouts
The number of bays and the system layout depend on the array model, the customer
requirements, and the space and organization of the customer data center.
Storage arrays can be placed in the following layouts:
l
Adjacent — all bays are positioned side-by-side.
l
Dispersed — dispersed layouts are provided with longer fabric and Ethernet cable
bundles that allow 82 ft (25 m) of separation between system bay 1 and system
bays 2 through 4.
Dispersed system bays require dispersed cable and optics kits and one set of side
skins for each dispersed system bay in the configuration.
n
The routing strategy (beneath raised floor or overhead), site requirements, and
the use of GridRunners (optional) or cable troughs can cause the actual
distances to vary.
n
GridRunners are used to create a strain relief for all dispersed, under the floor,
cable bundles. GridRunners are installed in the locations where the cable bundle
enters and exits the area under the raised floor.
l
Adjacent and dispersed bays (mixed) layouts — allow both adjacent and dispersed
layout within a single array.
