• Dual Ethernet ports for management-related activities
• Dual optical 16Gbps FC or 10Gbps iSCSI baseboard ports for host connection
• SAS drive expansion ports to attach expansion-drive shelves
Note: Adding the new optional HICs for the EF570 controller provides faster host interfaces for iSCSI,
FC, and IB. See Controller Host Interface Features for the details of the new, faster host
interfaces.
Table 11 lists the technical specifications for the EF570-based storage systems.

Specification
EF570
Maximum raw system capacity (assumes
120 SSDs)
1836TB (120 x 15.3TB SSDs)
Maximum number of drives per system
(assumes not mixing shelf models)
120 SSDs maximum
Shelf form factor
2U, 24 drives
Memory
16GB or 64GB per controller; 64GB memory option required
when using NVMe/IB, NVMe/RoCE, or NVMe/FC protocols
32GB or 128GB per duplex system
Onboard host interface
2-port 10Gb iSCSI (optical) or 16Gb FC per controller
Note: Only one protocol can be configured per system using
the onboard host ports.
Optional host interface (HIC) per controller
• Controllers must match
• A software feature pack* can be applied
to convert the FC onboard ports to iSCSI
or to convert between the three IB
protocols on the optional IB HIC
2-port 100Gb IB (iSER, SRP, NVMe/IB, or NVMe/RoCE based
on feature pack installed*)
Note: Onboard host ports are disabled when using NVMe
protocols.
4-port 12Gb SAS (wide-port); uses mini-SAS HD cables
4-port 32Gb FC or NVMe/FC (see Hardware Universe for SFP
details; 32Gb SFP supports 32Gbps and 16Gbps but not
8Gbps or slower)
Note: Onboard host ports are disabled when using NVMe
protocols
4-port 25Gb iSCSI (see Hardware Universe for SFP details;
must set port speed for 10Gbps or 25Gbps using SANtricity
System Manager; the 25Gbps SFP does work for 25Gb and
10Gb speeds, but the port does not change speeds
automatically)
Drive shelves supported for expansion-
drive offerings
DE224C (2U, 24 drives): 4 x SAS3 12Gbps expansion shelves
maximum
DE5600 (2U, 24 drives): 4 x expansion shelves max.
Note: Supports only SAS 2 (6Gbps) transfer speeds.
High-availability (HA) features
Dual active controllers with automated I/O path failover
