Hardware features
Contained in a 9U architecture, the File/Unified VNX5400 platform weighs approximately
182.82 lb (82.925 kg) fully loaded
2
without I/O modules and DAEs. With the 3U DPE
having the deepest dimension within the cabinet, the File/Unified VNX5400 without DAEs
measures (9U) 12.25 inches high x 17.62 inches wide x 24.77 inches deep (31.11 cm x
44.76 cm x 69.92 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 VNX5400 DPE, the
CPU modules, cooling fan modules, and disk drives plug directly into the midplane
connections. On the rear of the VNX5400 DPE, the battery backup unit (BBU) modules, the
base modules, power supply 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.
