Enclosure variants 25
Enclosure variants
The 2U chassis can be configured as a controller enclosure (DS6200, DS4200, or DS2200) or an expansion
enclosure (DS EXP) as shown in Table 3 and Table 4. The 5U chassis can be configured as a expansion enclosure
(DS EXP) as shown in Table 5.
IMPORTANT: The 2U and 5U core products–including key components and CRUs–are described herein.
Although many CRUs differ between the form factors, the IOMs are common to 2U12, 2U24, and 5U84 chassis.
The IOMs are introduced in “2U enclosure core product” and cross-referenced from “5U enclosure core product”.
2U12
12 x LFF (Large Form Factor) disk drives
1-Redundant PCMs must be compatible modules of the same type (both AC).
2-Supported controller module IOMs include 4-port or 2-port FC/iSCSI and 4-port or 2-port HD mini-SAS.
Supported expansion module IOMs are used in expansion enclosures for adding storage.
2U24
24 x SFF (Small Form Factor) disk drives
1-Redundant PCMs must be compatible modules of the same type (both AC).
2-Supported controller module IOMs include 4-port or 2-port FC/iSCSI and 4-port or 2-port HD mini-SAS.
Supported expansion module IOMs are used in expansion enclosures for adding storage.
D3284
84 x LFF or SFF disk drives (not interchangeable) held in two 42-slot vertically-stacked drawers.
1-The D3284 is not supported by DS2200. The D3284 is compatible with DS6200 and DS4200 controllers.
2-Redundant PSUs must be compatible modules of the same type (both AC).
3-The fan control module is a separate CRU (not integrated into a PCM).
4-The D3284 uses the same 3-port expansion canister used in the 2U EBODs.
