IBM DS5100 User Manual

The storage subsystem provides flexibility in configuring a RAID array. A minimal
storage subsystem configuration would consist of one DS5100 and DS5300 and
one storage expansion enclosure. The storage expansion enclosure can contain as
few as two disk drives. The maximum number of disk drives a DS5100 and DS5300
can support is listed in “Features at a glance” on page 2.
Currently, the DS5100 and DS5300 supports the EXP5000 and EXP5060 storage
expansion enclosures.
