About the DR Series System The Dell DR Series system is a backup and recovery solution designed to reduce your backup data footprint by using a number of comprehensive backup and deduplication operations that optimize storage savings. The DR Series system is available in the following models: • DR2000v-a Virtual Machine (VM) template for ESX and Hyper-V. • DR4000-which consists of pre-installed DR Series system software on a Dell PowerEdge R510 appliance platform. • DR4100-which consists of preinstalled DR Series system software on a Dell PowerEdge R720xd appliance platform. • DR6000-which consists of preinstalled DR Series system software on a Dell PowerEdge R720xd appliance platform. This differs from the DR4100 by including a higher level of base system hardware. • DR4300e-which consists of preinstalled DR Series system software on a modified Dell PowerEdge R730xd appliance platform. • DR4300-which consists of preinstalled DR Series system software on a modified Dell PowerEdge R730xd appliance platform and offers a higher base capacity than the DR4300e. • DR6300-which consists of preinstalled DR Series system software on a modified Dell R730xd appliance platform and offers a higher base capacity than the DR4300. The DR Series system consists of the following components: • Software - System software is pre-installed, which supports record linkage and context-based lossless data compression methods. • Hardware/VM - The hardware and virtual appliances that support the DR Series systems are listed below: - DR2000v system: a VM template in various capacities for ESX and HyperV that can be deployed on existing VM infrastructure. - DR4000 system: Includes twelve 3.5-inch SAS or Nearline SAS chassis drives that are hot-swappable, two power supplies for power redundancy, and two cabled 2.5-inch SAS drives for the operating system. The operating system is installed on two 2.5-inch internal drives that are in a RAID 1 configuration in the DR4000 system. - DR4100 system: Includes twelve 3.5-inch SAS or Nearline SAS chassis drives that are hot-swappable, two power supplies for power redundancy, and includes two 2.5-inch drives that are hot-pluggable in the rear. - DR6000 system: Includes twelve 3.5-inch SAS or Nearline SAS chassis drives that are hot-swappable, two power supplies for power redundancy, and includes two 2.5-inch drives that are hot-pluggable in the rear. - DR4300e system: Includes twelve 3.5-inch SAS or Nearline SAS chassis drives that are hot-swappable, two power supplies for power redundancy, and includes two 2.5-inch drives that are hot-pluggable in the rear. - DR4300 system: Includes twelve 3.5-inch SAS or Nearline SAS chassis drives that are hot-swappable, two power supplies for power redundancy, and includes two 2.5-inch drives that are hot-pluggable in the rear. - DR6300 system: Includes twelve 3.5-inch SAS or Nearline SAS chassis drives that are hot-swappable, two power supplies for power redundancy, and includes two 2.5-inch drives that are hot-pluggable in the rear. NOTE: For the DR4000, DR4100 and DR6000 systems, there is a global hot spare for both OS and data drives. For the DR4300e, DR4300 and DR6300 systems, there is a dedicated hot spare for data drives only (and not for OS drives). NOTE: For slot locations for the twelve 3.5-inch drives in the hardware appliance-based DR Series system types, see the topic, "DR Series System and Data Operations." • Expansion shelf-The hardware system appliance supports the addition of external Dell PowerVault MD1200 (for DR4000, DR4100, DR6000 systems) and MD1400 (for DR4300e, DR4300, DR6300 systems) data storage expansion shelf 13
