The following warnings and cautions pertain throughout this guide.
WARNING
Trained service personnel only.
This unit has two power supply cords. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, disconnect both power supply cords before servicing.
Ground circuit continuity is vital for safe operation of the machine.
Never operate the machine with grounding conductors disconnected.
Remember to reconnect any grounding conductors removed for or
during any installation procedure.
Resérvé au personnel autorisé.
Cet appareil comporte plus d'un cordon d'alimentation. Afin de
prévenir les chocs électriques, débrancher les deux cordons
d'alimentation avant de faire le dépannage.
Un circuit de terre continu est essentiel en vue du fonctionnement
sécuritaire de l'apareil. Ne jamais mettre l'appareil en marche lorsque
le conducteur de mise a la terre est débranché.
Nur für Fachpersonal.
Das Geraet hat mehr als eine Anschlussleitung. Zur Vermeidung der
Gefahr eines elektrischen Schlages sind vor dem öffnen beide
Anschlussleitungen vom Netz zu trennen.
STROMSTREUVERLUST: Gerät muss geerdet werden, bevor es am
Stromnetz angeschlossen wird.
Warnings and
Cautions

Warnings and Cautions
CAUTION
!
Trained personnel are advised to exercise great care at all times
when working on the unit. Remember to:
◆Remove rings, watches, or other jewelry and neckties before
you begin any procedures.
◆Use caution near any moving part and any part that may start
unexpectedly such as fans, motors, solenoids, and so on.
◆Always use the correct tools for the job.
◆Always use the correct replacement parts.
◆Keep all paperwork, including incident reports, up to date,
complete, and accurate.
Static Precautions EMC incorporates state-of-the-art technology in its designs, including
the use of LSI and VLSI components. These chips are very susceptible
to damage caused by static discharge and need to be handled
accordingly.
CAUTION
!
Before handling printed-circuit boards or other parts containing
LSI and/or VLSI components, observe the following precautions:
◆Store all printed-circuit boards in antistatic bags.
◆Use a ground strap whenever you handle a printed-circuit
board.
◆Unless specifically designed for nondisruptive replacement,
never plug or unplug printed-circuit boards with the power on.
Severe component damage may result.
Replacing the SP battery
The storage processor includes a lithium battery. Only trained
personnel should change or replace this battery.
WARNING
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type recommended by the equipment
manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to manufacturer's
instructions.

About the CX200-Series DPE2
Overview
The Model CX200-Series of 2-gigabit disk processor enclosures
(DPE2), shown in Figure 1-1, are intelligent, high-performance,
high-capacity disk-array storage systems that use a Fibre Channel
Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) or fabric as their interconnect interface.
Each enclosure is only 3U (5.25 inches) high, but can include 15 hard
disk drives. The system’s modular, scalable design provides
additional disk storage as your needs increase. The examples and
illustrations in this manual show the rackmounted DPE2 in a
standard 40U EMC cabinet.
Figure 1-1 Model CX200 Disk Processor Enclosure (DPE2)
A standard CX200 can support one additional disk-array enclosure
(DAE2, also called an array module). A DAE2 is a basic 15-disk
enclosure without a storage processor (SP). The CX200 and DAE2
together support up to 30 disk modules in a single disk-array storage
system.
Economical CX200LC systems do NOT support an additional DAE2.

About the CX200-Series DPE2
You can place the DAE2 in the same cabinet as the CX200, or in a
separate cabinet. The CX200-Series systems connect to the external
Fibre Channel environment using small form factor SFF LC optical
transceivers on the storage processor. High-availability features are
standard. The EMC Access Logix™ software option provides Storage
Group functionality for the CX200 and CX200LC.
CX200-Series Components
The CX200-Series storage system includes:
◆A CX200 DPE2 consisting of
• A sheet-metal enclosure with a midplane and front bezel
• Two storage processors (SPs)
• Five to fifteen disk modules
• A single standby power supply (SPS)
• Two power supply/system cooling modules
Blowers integrated in the power/cooling modules cool the entire
enclosure. The CX200 does not require discrete fan assemblies.
or
◆A CX200LC DPE2 with
• A sheet-metal enclosure with a midplane and front bezel
• One storage processor
• Three to fifteen disk modules
• One power supply/system cooling (power/cooling) module
•Oneblowermodule
Standard CX200 systems can support an optional single DAE2 with
as many as fifteen disk modules.
Any unoccupied disk module slot has a filler module to maintain air
flow.
The storage processors, disk modules, power/cooling modules,
blower modules, and filler modules are field replaceable units
(FRUs). You can add or replace them without tools and, in most cases,
while the array is powered up.
The disk modules are FC-AL compliant and support dual-port FC-AL
interconnects through the storage processors and their cabling.

1-4
EMC CX200-Series DPE2 Hardware Reference
About the CX200-Series DPE2
A CX200 system can continue running in a degraded mode with one
operating power supply and one functioning SP. You should replace a
failed FRU as soon as possible.
Figures 1-2 through 1-4 show the enclosure components. Where the
enclosure provides slots for two identical components, the
components are called component-name A or component-name B, as
shown in the illustrations.
For increased clarity, the following figures 1-2 through 1-10 depict the DPE2
outside of the rack cabinet. Your enclosure may be installed in a rackmount
cabinet as shown in Figure 1-1.
As shown in Figure 1-2, the front LED display contains two status
lights for each disk module, and two disk enclosure status lights. The
status lights are visible with the front bezel installed.

cabinet.

Midplane The midplane distributes power and signals to all the enclosure
components. All FRUs plug directly into midplane connectors.
Front Bezel The front bezel has a locking latch and an electromagnetic
interference (EMI) shield. You can remove the bezel to remove and
install drive modules. EMI compliance requires a properly installed
front bezel.
