Y-cables (Figure 12 (page 30)) are used to connect the P6500 EVA and enable each controller data port to act as two ports. Figure 12 P6500 Y-cable 1. Pull tab (may also be a release bar) 2. Port number label Storage system racks All storage system components are mounted in a rack. Each configuration includes one controller enclosure holding both controllers (the controller pair) and the disk enclosures. Each controller pair and all associated disk enclosures form a single storage system. The rack provides the capability for mounting standard 483 mm (19 in) wide controller and disk enclosures. NOTE: Racks and rack-mountable components are typically described using "U" measurements. "U" measurements are used to designate panel or enclosure heights. The "U" measurement is a standard of 41mm (1.6 in). The racks provide the following: • Unique frame and rail design-Allows fast assembly, easy mounting, and outstanding structural integrity. • Thermal integrity-Front-to-back natural convection cooling is greatly enhanced by the innovative multi-angled design of the front door. • Security provisions-The front and rear door are lockable, which prevents unauthorized entry. • Flexibility-Provides easy access to hardware components for operation monitoring. • Custom expandability-Several options allow for quick and easy expansion of the racks to create a custom solution. Rack configurations The standard rack for the P63x0/P65x0 EVA is the 42U HP 10000 Intelligent Series rack. The P63x0/P65x0 EVA is also supported with 22U, 36U, 42U 5642, and 47U racks. The 42U 5642 is a field-installed option. The 47U rack must be assembled on site because the cabinet height creates shipping difficulties.
