QuickSpecs

The M5314C FC drive enclosure has dual redundant hot plug FC I/O modules that allow the controllers
to distribute I/Os between the two modules and provides redundant paths should either FC I/O module
become unavailable. The enclosure also has dual redundant hot plug power supplies and dual hot plug
blowers. The enclosure also has a hot plug Environmental Monitoring Unit (EMU) to monitor and report
the condition of the power supplies and fans. The EMU can be replaced without affecting I/O operations.
The FC and FATA disk drives have dual FC ports which can be redundantly accessed by each controller.
The drives are hot plug. The drives can be arranged, using redundant Vraid1 or Vraid5 protection, so
that a drive failure will not cause loss of data. Optional virtual sparing can be configured so that a drive
failure will trigger an automatic rebuild of the Vraid1 or Vraid5 protection using the virtual spare.
All EVAs have dual redundant power distribution. Two independent power cords distribute power through
two Power Distribution Units (PDUs) to each side of the EVA cabinets and to each power supply of the
controllers and to each power supply of the drive enclosures and to each of the FC loop switches. Each
cabinet power cord can be connected to independent power sources. For maximum availability, a
customer should provide redundant power from independent power circuit breakers, independent power
lines from the power company and even independent power companies.
