MX5016s

MX5016s is a storage sled that is connected to a blade chassis to provide extended storage access, other than the physical storage

available in the PowerEdge Modular servers. It supports up to 6 PSU at the front and maximum of 4 fans in a single chassis. It can

accommodate up to 16 HDDs (SAS/SED/SSD/). The blade chassis have IO modules connected at the back. The platform makes use of

these IO modules in order to access the disks connected to MX5016s. SATA disk supports only with compute nodes.

Hard drives connected to MX5016s can be mapped to PowerEdge Modular servers in two ways:

• Slot Mapping: In slot mapping, hard drives can be mapped to specic PowerEdge Modular servers slots. Slot level mapping of

MX5016s is possible from computes. If you have 1 compute and 3 MX5016s, you can have any individual slots of any MX5016s mapped

to the compute. Storage Management discovers and lists only the slots with hard drive present in MX5016s.

NOTE: This release supports slot level mapping.

• Enclosure Mapping: In enclosure mapping, Storage Management discovers and lists the complete enclosure.

NOTE: Storage Management does not monitor the inventory if MX5016s is not mapped to the specic PowerEdge Modular

servers.

NOTE: Storage Management does not enumerate any slot information if dynamic assign or unassign of empty MX5016s or drive

is not present before the dynamic assign or unassign is performed.

NOTE: For fully populated PowerEdge MX7000 chassis, the Storage Management system takes few minutes to load the storage

components.
