DXi6900 G1 Array and Expansion Modules
The DXi6900 G1 Array modules (RBODs) and Expansion modules
(EBODs) are used to provide additional capacity (backup data storage)
for the DXi6900 G1 system. Each Array or Expansion module contains
12 drive carriers and provides 34 TB of licensable storage.
The DXi6900 G1 includes 1 or 2 Array modules (RBODs). Array modules
connect to the Node and contain dual RAID controllers, which provide
storage management logic. The DXi6900 G1 can include 0 to 13
Expansion modules (EBODs), which connect in a chain to the Array
modules, and which provide additional storage capacity only.
Note: Storage capacity is licensed in 17 TB increments.
The DXi6900 G1 Array and Expansion modules have a series of LED
indicators and buttons located on the front and back of each
component:
• Array and Expansion Module Front Panel Features and Indicators
• Array and Expansion Module Hard Drive Carrier Indicators
