PREFACE
As part of an effort to improve and enhance the performance and capabilities of its
product lines, EMC periodically releases revisions of its hardware and software. Therefore,
some functions described in this document might not be supported by all versions of the

About this book
This guide describes the EMC®VNXe3300™. The VNXe3300 platform supports a disk
processor enclosure (DPE) with one to two storage processors (SPs).
In the VNXe3300 platform, the DPE uses either a 15 drive, 3.5-inch disk drive 3U
enclosure (DPE7) or a 25 drive, 2.5-inch disk drive 3U enclosure (DPE8). The DAE used in
the VNXe3300 platform is either a 15 drive, 3.5-inch disk drive 3U enclosure (DAE6S) or a
25 drive, 2.5-inch disk drive 2U enclosure (DAE5S). As a result, in the VNXe3300 platform,
the DPE and DAE are available in several DPE/DAE configurations (for more information,
see and “Disk-array enclosure” on page 38)
IMPORTANT
When calculating the number of drives for your VNXe3300 platform, the DPE is included in
the total drive slot quantity of from 120 to 150 drives. If the total drive slot quantity
exceeds from 120 to 150, you will not be able to add another DAE. The “Disk-array
enclosure” section on page 38 provides more information about the available DAEs for the
VNXe3300 platform as well as a configuration table.
