Hardware features
Contained in a 14U architecture, the File/Unified VNX8000 platform weighs approximately
284.2 lb (626.5 kg) fully loaded without I/O modules and DAEs. With the 4U SPE having
the deepest dimension within the cabinet, the File/Unified VNX8000 without DAEs
measures (14U) 27 inches high x 17.6 inches wide x 31 inches deep (68.58 cm x 44.7 cm
x 78.74 cm). Between the front and rear of the enclosure, a midplane distributes power
and signals to all the enclosure components. On the front of the VNX8000 SPE, the power
supplies, cooling fan modules, and disk drives plug directly into the midplane
connections. On the rear of the VNX8000 SPE, power supply connector modules,
management modules, and I/O modules plug directly into the midplane connections.
Note: The previously mentioned dimensions are approximate and do not include any I/O
modules, DAEs, or the cabinet enclosure.
