Racking Guidelines and
Power Distribution
Power Distribution Units (PDUs) are configured according to the voltage used in the country when the
solution is ordered. These PDUs provide redundant power. They are located in the bottom and back of the
cabinet, taking 1U of rack space.
For EVA P6000, a variety of HP Rack offerings and integration options are available. EVA P6000
configurator tools utilize a 42U HP Rack as the standard recommendation and will provide a 200 - 240V
PDU and country specific power cords. However, EVA P6000 configurations can be customized to meet a
wide variety of customer needs. The height, width (including the 800mm wide rack) and types of rack and
PDUs can be modified based upon the specific customer need. If other devices, such as servers, switches or
back-up devices are to be installed with the array, this can be specified and the cabinets and PDUs can be
modified to support the configuration. EVA P6000 also supports 22U and 36U racks. The 47U rack is also
supported, but not factory configured, because of the cabinet height, which creates shipping difficulties. It
must be assembled on site.

Other PDUs, besides the 200 - 240 V single-phase default PDU, are also supported. This includes 100 - 127
volt single-phase, 200 - 240 volt three-phase, and 380 - 415 volt three-phase PDUs. Monitored PDUs are
also supported.
NOTE:
When 1200mm deep cabinets are used, the power cords that come with the EVA P6000 controllers
and drive enclosures are not long enough to reach to the power strip locations in the deep cabinets. One
pair of longer power cords, one 142257-006 (black) and one AF573A (gray), is needed for each EVA P6000
controller or drive enclosure, either factory installed or field installed.

NOTE:
When adding additional devices to existing racks ensure that the installed PDUs will support the
new power requirements.
Total Cost of Ownership
The unique virtual architecture allows up to twice the normal effective capacity utilization of traditionally
architected storage offerings. And with Virtually Capacity-Free Snapshot (Vsnap), significant duplicate
capacity requirements can be eliminated resulting in fewer/smaller storage acquisitions.
EVA P6000 is a high density disk storage solution. Additionally, the unique virtual architecture allows up to
twice the normal effective capacity utilization of traditionally architected storage offerings. And with the
virtually Capacity-Free Snapshot (Vsnap), mid-line SAS disk drives and the ability to change Vraid types,
significant amount of duplicate capacity requirements can be eliminated, resulting in fewer/smaller
storage acquisitions.
