6 Technical specifications The technical and environmental specifications of your system are outlined in this section. Topics: • Component guidelines • Chassis dimensions • Chassis weight • Fan specifications • PSU specifications • Ports and connectors specifications • PowerEdge MX modules ports and connectors • Video specifications • Environmental specifications Component guidelines Population rules System modules must be populated as described in the following table: Table 11. MX7000 population rules Category Maximum population Blanks All the empty slots in the MX7000 enclosure must be populated with blanks (Sled, IOM, EC, and PSU). This is required for proper cooling of the enclosure and components. Fans All system fans must be populated in the enclosure. Power supply units The number of power supply units that are required is dependent upon system configuration and redundancy mode, and the minimum recommended quantity is two. The six PSUs are organized into two groups: Grid A consists of PSUs 1, 2, 3, and Grid B consists of PSUs 4, 5, 6. It is recommended to populate the PSUs in the following order: 1, 4, 2, 5, 3, 6 where an equal number of PSUs on each grid is optimized for Grid Redundancy. PSU redundancy and No Redundancy options do not have any PSU population requirements. Power cable One C21/C20 power cable must be connected to the C22 plug corresponding to each populated PSU. Management module A Management module must be present to control and manage the enclosure. NOTE: If a single Management module crashes, the system functions normally. NOTE: The enclosure cannot be managed or controlled until the Management module is replaced. Control panel Compute sled Storage Sled I/O Module The right control panel and one of the left control panel configurations (LCD or LED) must be present on the MX7000 enclosure. Up to eight single-width or four double-width sleds or a combination can be populated. The double-width sleds must be in slots 1, 3, 5, 7 due to the enclosures design. Up to seven Storage sleds can be populated in the enclosure. NOTE: One compute node must be present and it must be mapped to a storage node. One Fabric-C SAS IOM must be present and powered ON. Only Brocade and SAS IOM are supported in Fabric-C. 50 Technical specifications

Component guidelines
Population rules
System modules must be populated as described in the following table:
Table 11. MX7000 population rules
Category
Maximum population
Blanks
All the empty slots in the MX7000 enclosure must be populated with blanks (Sled, IOM, EC, and PSU). This is
required for proper cooling of the enclosure and components.
Fans
All system fans must be populated in the enclosure.
Power supply
units
The number of power supply units that are required is dependent upon system configuration and redundancy mode,
and the minimum recommended quantity is two. The six PSUs are organized into two groups: Grid A consists of
PSUs 1, 2, 3, and Grid B consists of PSUs 4, 5, 6. It is recommended to populate the PSUs in the following order: 1,
4, 2, 5, 3, 6 where an equal number of PSUs on each grid is optimized for Grid Redundancy. PSU redundancy and No
Redundancy options do not have any PSU population requirements.
Power cable
One C21/C20 power cable must be connected to the C22 plug corresponding to each populated PSU.
Management
module
A Management module must be present to control and manage the enclosure.
NOTE:
If a single Management module crashes, the system functions normally.
NOTE:
The enclosure cannot be managed or controlled until the Management module is replaced.
Control panel
The right control panel and one of the left control panel configurations (LCD or LED) must be present on the
MX7000 enclosure.
Compute sled
Up to eight single-width or four double-width sleds or a combination can be populated. The double-width sleds must
be in slots 1, 3, 5, 7 due to the enclosures design.
Storage Sled
Up to seven Storage sleds can be populated in the enclosure.
NOTE:
One compute node must be present and it must be mapped to a storage node.
One Fabric-C SAS IOM must be present and powered ON.
I/O Module
Only Brocade and SAS IOM are supported in Fabric-C.
