Dell SCv2000 Tool Storage User Manual


 
Expansion Enclosures
An SCv2000/SCv2020 storage system supports multiple SC100/SC120 expansion enclosures. The
expansion enclosures allow the data storage capabilities of the SCv2000/SCv2020 to be expanded
beyond the
12 or 24 internal drives in the storage system chassis.
The SCv2000/SCv2020 storage system supports a total of 168 drives per Storage Center system. This
total includes the drives in the SCv2000/SCv2020 storage system chassis and the drives in SC100/SC120
expansion enclosures chassis.
The SCv2000 supports up to thirteen SC100 expansion enclosures, up to six SC120 expansion
enclosures
, or any combination of SC100/SC120 expansion enclosures as long as the total drive
count of the system does not exceed 168.
The SCv2020 supports up to twelve SC100 expansion enclosures, up to six SC120 expansion
enclosures, or any combination of SC100/SC120 expansion enclosures as long as the total drive
count of the system does not exceed 168.
Storage Center Architecture Options
A Storage Center with an SCv2000/SCv2020 storage system can be deployed in two configurations:
An SCv2000/SCv2020 storage system without SC100/SC120 expansion enclosures.
Figure 1. SCv2000/SCv2020 without Expansion Enclosures
An SCv2000/SCv2020 storage system with one or more SC100/SC120 expansion enclosures.
NOTE: A storage system with a single storage controller cannot be deployed with expansion
enclosures. The storage system must have dual storage controllers to deploy expansion
enclosures.
