SCv3000 and SCv3020 Storage System Getting Started Guide

PDF

Technical Specifications

The technical specifications of the SCv3000 and SCv3020 storage systems are displayed in the following tables.

Drives
SAS hard drives

SCv3000 Up to 16 3.5-in. hot-swappable hard drives (12 Gb SAS)

SCv3020 Up to 30 2.5-in. SAS hot-swappable hard drives (12 Gb SAS)

Storage Controllers
Storage controllers

Up to two hot-swappable storage controllers with one I/O card slot and one optional mezzanine card per storage controller.

Each storage controller has an internal battery backup unit. Write cache is mirrored between the two storage controllers. If a power failure occurs, the battery backup unit provides power to the storage controller so that the write cache can be saved to an SSD within the storage controller.

Storage Connectivity
Configurations

SCv3000 Supports a total of 208 drives and up to 192 drives on a single SAS chain. The SAS chain supports up to sixteen SCv300 expansion enclosures , eight SCv320 expansion enclosures , or three SCv360 expansion enclosures .

SCv3020 Supports a total of 222 drives and up to 192 drives on a single SAS chain. The SAS chain supports up to sixteen SCv300 expansion enclosures , eight SCv320 expansion enclosures , or three SCv360 expansion enclosures .

Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)
Controller Two hot-swappable storage controllers
Management RAID management using the Dell Storage Manager
Back-Panel Ports Connectors (per Storage Controller)
Fibre Channel, iSCSI, or SAS front-end connectors Connection to a Fiber Channel fabric, iSCSI network, or a direct connection to servers with SAS HBAs
