Dell EMC Unity 300 Hybrid

Dell EMC Unity 300 Hybrid

All Hybrid Models support 2 Drive Carrier types. The 12x3.5” and the 25x2.5”. Flash models only support the 25x2.5” Drive Carriers. Each unit has 2 Storage Processors (SP’s) in the rear with 2 CNA ports and 2 Module slots that can hold up to 6 different modules.

The Dell EMC Unity hybrid models are the only ones to support FAST and FAST VP technology which helps with tiered storage and accessibility to high-frequency data.

Storage Processor (SP):
The Dell EMC Unity 300 has 2 Storage Processors.
Each SP comes with:

• Intel Xeon E5-2603 6-Core 1.6 GHz processor.
• 3 8GB DDR4 DIMM for a total of 24GB of memory
• 2 embedded CNA ports (4 configurations possible)
• 2 10GbaseT ports
• 2 mini-HD SAS ports
• 2 PCI 3.0, x8 lane I/O module slots (6 Modules supported)

CNA Ports:
Each SP contains two integrated CNA ports (labeled 4 and 5). These ports are PCI Express 3.0 x4 adapters that provide interfaces that can be configured as Ethernet, or Fibre Channel, but once set to a protocol, cannot be changed. If CNA ports are set to Ethernet, you can use 1Gb/s, 10Gb/s SFPs, Twin-AX for File (IP), or iSCSI Block access. If the ports are set to Fibre Channel, then you can use SFPs supporting 4, 8, 16 Gb/s FC multi-mode, or single-mode SFPs supporting 16Gb/s only.
Note: The four CNA ports cannot be configured independently; they must all be configured with the same network protocol.

I/O Modules:
Each SP has two slots that can support 6 different options.

• Four-port 12-Gb/s SAS I/O module
• Four-port 16-Gb/s Fibre Channel I/O module
• Four-port 10-Gb/s optical I/O module
• Four-port 10GBASE-T I/O module
• Four-port 1GBASE-T I/O module
• Two-port 10Gb/s optical I/O module

Note: When adding new I/O modules, always install I/O modules in pairs—one module in SP A and one module in SP B. Both SPs must have the same type of I/O modules in the same slots. Please read the manual below for more details to each module listed above.

Standby Power Supply
12 DPE

• AC 100 to 240 VAC ± 10%, single phase, 47 to 63 Hz
• DC Line Voltage -39 to -72 V DC (Nominal -48V or -60V power systems)

• AC 100 to 240 VAC ± 10%, single phase, 47 to 63 Hz
• DC Line Voltage -39 to -72 V DC (Nominal -48V or -60V power systems)

Disk Array Enclosure (DAE)
The Dell EMC Unity 300 supports all three types of DAE’s with a max being either 9 DAE’s or 150 drives. When calculating the number of drives make sure to count the DPE drives as well in the total.

• 2U 25-drive DAE with 2.5-inch drives
• 3U 15-drive DAE with 3.5-inch drives
• 3U 80-drive DAE with 2.5-inch drives
