Components of an ETERNUS CS800 S5 System System Description
36 U41840-J-Z125-7-76
Scale
This version provides a midrange amount as well as fast network throughput and full data
storage facility. It includes the following features:
● 1 server unit with 2 CPUs (8 cores / 16 threads each) and 256GB RAM
● 1 storage base module (DX80 S2) with a usable capacity of 16TB (2TB disks) or 24TB
(3TB disks) or 32TB (4TB disks).
● 3 x 1GbE ports for NFS and CIFS (to the customer LAN)
● Optionally: 1 to 9 storage expansion modules, with 16TB, 24TB or 32TB usable
capacity.
● Optionally: 4 x 10GbE (factory installed option/field upgradeable)
● Optionally: 8 x 1GbE (factory installed option)
● Optionally: 4 x 8GbFC (always factory installed)
● Optionally: Hot Spares in ETERNUS DX80 S2 (factory enabled)
● The 1st storage expansion shelf of the DX80 S2 will be equipped with 12 x Hot
Spare disks (2TB, 3TB or 4TB)
● This will reduced the max. capacity to 144/ 216/ 288TB
The Scale model uses an DX80 S2 storage array with large capacity, highly cost effective
Nearline SAS disks (Serial Attached SCSI). Twelve disks of 3.5'' size with a capacity of 2TB,
3TB or 4TB each and a speed of 7,200 rpm are implemented to each module of the storage
array. Always six disks are building up a RAID 6 (4+2) disk group, i.e. there are two RAID
6 groups in each storage module. In addition, sixteen SAS disks of size 2.5" with a capacity
of 900GB each and a speed of 10,000 rpm are implemented in the server. Two disks are
reserved as hot spare. Always two of the further disks are building up a RAID 1 disk group.
One disk group is used by the operating system and the other six groups are used to store
the backup metadata.
