blocks; all random tests were based on 8K block sizes.
NOTE: Number and type of applications, drive type and number of drives, operating system used,
and the number of hosts will affect overall performance. This table is provided strictly as a test-lab
comparison. Note: These numbers reflect a full array configuration with the maximum number of
front-end ports, disks, and controllers. The test results shown for the P2000 G3 are preliminary and
designed to give a reference point for comparisons. They will be reposted shortly when finalized.

MSA ", available in the Resource Library at: www.hp.com/go/p2000 .
DC-power chassis HP is making the two models of controller-less chassis available with direct current (DC) power
supplies. They each have the two empty bays where users can insert one or two P2000 G3
controller(s). In addition, the P2000 chassis with LFF drive bay can have P2000 3.5-inch I/O
modules inserted to create a LFF DC-power JBOD.
The 500 watt power supply is designed to operate over the input range of -40VDC to -75VDC.
HP StorageWorks P2000 DC-power LFF twelve 3.5-in Drive Bays
(supports up to 2 controllers or I/O modules)
AP840A
HP StorageWorks P2000 DC-power SFF twenty-four 2.5-in Drive Bays
(supports up to 2 controllers, not I/O modules)
AP841A
Configuration and
Management Tools
HP StorageWorks Storage Management Utility (SMU). Management access, out-of-band: WEB
GUI, CLI. Interface Types: USB, 10/100 Ethernet. Protocols Supported SNMP, SMI-S, SSL, SSH,
SMTP, FTP, HTTP, Telnet
