3.9 DS5000 storage subsystem disk enclosures
The EXP5000 is the expansion enclosure available for the DS5000 series, except for the
DS5020 storage subsystem. The DS5020 has its own expansion enclosure called EXP520.
The EXP810 can be attached to the DS5000 storage systems for purposes of migrating data
from the EXP810 to the DS5000 series. However, a license is required to attach the EXP810
to a DS5020 storage subsystem.
EXP5000 Storage Expansion Unit (1818-D1A)
DS4000 EXP810 Storage Expansion Unit (1812-81A) (refer to “IBM System Storage
EXP810 expansion enclosure” on page 27 for details)
EXP520 Storage Expansion Unit (1814-52A)
In this section, we discuss the features of the DS5000 expansion units (EXPs) and how they
can be attached and combined to expand the storage capacity of the DS5000 storage
systems. In particular, we look at the possibilities and limitations of intermixing FC and SATA
drives. Connectors, LED indicators, and switches located at the rear of the expansion units
are similar on all models.
