Add additional storage
The cabling examples described in this guide are for illustration purposes only. Your system
cabling might be different based on how many DAEs you install and whether you use load
balancing to install these DAEs.
Disk-array enclosure types
DAEs are optional components that add extra storage. DAEs come in:
◆ 2U, 25 2.5'' drive DAE as shown in Figure 37.
◆ 3U, 15 3.5'' drive DAE as shown in Figure 38 on page 48.
They use a 2U rail kit for the 25 2.5'' drive DAE or a 3U rail kit for 15 3.5'' drive DAE.
If DAEs are used, the DAEs should be installed immediately above DAE 0 in the cabinet. Either
type of DAE may be installed. The arrangement of the DAEs in a cabinet may depend upon a
number of factors. The
VNX5500 Hardware Information Guide
provides more information on DAE
assembling and arrangement.
