Storage system racks
All storage system components are mounted in a rack. Each configuration includes one controller
enclosure holding both controllers (the controller pair) and the disk enclosures. Each controller pair
and all associated disk enclosures form a single storage system.
The rack provides the capability for mounting standard 483 mm (19 in) wide controller and disk
enclosures.
NOTE: Racks and rack-mountable components are typically described using “U” measurements.
“U” measurements are used to designate panel or enclosure heights. The “U” measurement is a
standard of 41mm (1.6 in).
The racks provide the following:
•
Unique frame and rail design—Allows fast assembly, easy mounting, and outstanding structural
integrity.
•
Thermal integrity—Front-to-back natural convection cooling is greatly enhanced by the innovative
multi-angled design of the front door.
•
Security provisions—The front and rear door are lockable, which prevents unauthorized entry.
•
Flexibility—Provides easy access to hardware components for operation monitoring.
•
Custom expandability—Several options allow for quick and easy expansion of the racks to
create a custom solution.
Rack configurations
The standard rack for the P63x0/P65x0 EVA is the 42U HP 10000 Intelligent Series rack. The
P63x0/P65x0 EVA is also supported with 22U, 36U, 42U 5642, and 47U racks. The 42U 5642
is a field-installed option. The 47U rack must be assembled on site because the cabinet height
creates shipping difficulties.
