System overview

Dell EMC PowerEdge MX5016s sled overview

The PowerEdge MX5016s is a Storage Sled installed in the PowerEdge MX7000 enclosure to provide disk expansion for PowerEdge MX series Compute Sleds. In the PowerEdge MX7000 enclosure, the PowerEdge MX5016s is connected through an internal SAS fabric (FabC). The PowerEdge MX5000s provides exible SAS connectivity between compute sleds, and internal storage sleds connected to the MX7000 enclosure.

PowerEdge MX5016s supports up to:

• 16 hot-swappable 2.5-inch SAS drives

• Two hot-swappable expanders providing dual SAS paths for all drives(HDDs/SSDs)

• Dual x4 SAS links to the MX platform infrastructure

• 12 GB/s SAS support

NOTE

: All instances of SAS hard drives and SSDs are referred to as drives in this document, unless specied otherwise.

Dell EMC PowerEdge MX5000s SAS IOM overview

The Dell EMC PowerEdge MX5000s is a redundant, hot-swappable SAS switch solution for the Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000 enclosure that is designed to be used with the Dell EMC PowerEdge MX5016s storage sleds and SAS controllers that are installed in compute sleds. The IOM facilitates SAS Storage subsystem, drive assignments, reporting health status and event logs for the associated SAS devices. You can manage SAS fabric by using the OpenManage Enterprise-Modular user interface to view inventory, storage event logs and manage drive or enclosure assignments.
