About DAE2P and DAE3P disk enclosures Introduction EMC® CLARiiON® DAE2P and DAE3P UltraPoint™ (sometimes called "point-to-point") disk-array enclosures are highly available, high-performance, high-capacity storage systems that use a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) as the interconnect interface. An enclosure connects to another DAE or a CX-series processor, and is managed by storage-system software in RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disk) configurations. The enclosure is only 3U (5.25 inches) high, but can include 15 hard disk drive/carrier modules. Its modular, scalable design allows for additional disk storage as your needs increase. The examples and illustrations in this manual show the rackmounted DAE2P/DAE3P in a standard 40U EMC cabinet. DAE2P enclosures include high-performance Fibre Channel disk drives. DAE3P enclosures can include either Fibre Channel or economical Serial Advanced Technology Attach (SATA 3 Gb/s, sometimes called SATA II) drives. You can integrate and connect Fibre Channel and SATA enclosures within a storage system, but you cannot mix SATA and Fibre Channel components within a DAE3P.

About DAE2P and DAE3P disk enclosures
Introduction
EMC® CLARiiON® DAE2P and DAE3P UltraPoint™ (sometimes
called "point-to-point") disk-array enclosures are highly available,
high-performance, high-capacity storage systems that use a Fibre
Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) as the interconnect interface. An
enclosure connects to another DAE or a CX-series processor, and is
managed by storage-system software in RAID (Redundant Array of
Independent Disk) configurations. The enclosure is only 3U (5.25
inches) high, but can include 15 hard disk drive/carrier modules. Its
modular, scalable design allows for additional disk storage as your
needs increase. The examples and illustrations in this manual show
the rackmounted DAE2P/DAE3P in a standard 40U EMC cabinet.
DAE2P enclosures include high-performance Fibre Channel disk
drives. DAE3P enclosures can include either Fibre Channel or
economical Serial Advanced Technology Attach (SATA 3 Gb/s,
sometimes called
SATA II
) drives. You can integrate and connect Fibre
Channel and SATA enclosures within a storage system, but you
cannot mix SATA and Fibre Channel components within a DAE3P.
