About the Deskside Disk-Array Processor Enclosure
Overview
The EMC FC4400/4500 deskside Disk-Array Processor Enclosure
(DPE) consists of one DPE and one Disk-Array Enclosure (DAE). The
deskside DPE is a highly available, high-performance, high-capacity
disk-array storage system that uses a Fibre Channel arbitrated loop
(FC-AL) or fabric as its interconnect interface. Its modular design
makes expansion easy when storage needs increase.
Figure 1-1 Deskside Disk-Array Processor Enclosure (DPE)
A deskside DPE can support as many as twenty 3.5-inch, Fibre
Channel disk modules. It connects to the external Fibre Channel
environment using GigaBit Interface Converters (GBICs) on the
storage processor.
High-availability features are standard.The EMC Access Logix™
option provides Storage Group functionality for the Model FC4500
DPE.

About the Deskside Disk-Array Processor Enclosure
Deskside DPE Components
The components of a deskside DPE include:
•Front doors (two)
•Enclosures (DPE and DAE)
•Disk modules
•Link control cards (LCCs)
•Storage processors (SPs)
•Power supplies
•Fan packs (drive and SP)
•Standby Power Supply (SPS)
•Power Distribution Units (PDUs)
Any unoccupied slot (SP, LCC, disk module, or power supply) has a
filler module to maintain air flow and compliance with
electromagnetic interference (EMI) standards.
The disk modules, link control cards, power supplies, storage
processors, SPSs, and fan packs are customer-replaceable units (CRUs),
which you can add or replace without any tools while the deskside
DPE is powered up.
The high availability features for a deskside DPE include:
•Second SP, power supply, and LCC (in the DPE enclosure)
•Second LCC and power supply (in the DAE enclosure)
•SPS (See “Related Documentation”on page xiii.)
A second SP (with required second LCC in the DPE enclosure)
provides continued access to the DPE and any connected DAEs if the
first SP or LCC fails. The second SP can improve performance and
connect easily to a second server.
The FC-AL compliant disk drives support dual-port Fibre Channel
connections through the link control cards and the associated cabling.
Simple serial cabling provides easy scalability, allowing you to
configure a single disk-array system using a deskside DPE and
add-on DAEs.

About the Deskside Disk-Array Processor Enclosure
Front Doors Each front door has a locking latch and an electromagnetic
interference (EMI) shield. The latch is a push button with a removable
locking key that you can use in any deskside DPE or deskside DAE.
When the door is open, you can remove and install drive modules,
and change the DAE enclosure address (EA) using the EA switch.
The front door must be closed for the deskside DPE to be EMI compliant.
Open the door only to access the disk modules or the EA switch for service.
