1 Introduction
Seagate Exos X storage enclosures combine strong performance with high reliability, flexibility, and manageability. Powerful
and compact, the LX2 series expandable storage solution supports business with high-capacity and high-availability options.
The system is designed for high availability (HA), with no single point of failure for data or power. Controller modules (CMs)
are Storage Bridge Bay (SBB) v2.1 compatible for interconnects, power budgets and rails, form factors, and footprints.
All Seagate storage enclosures contain one or more CMs, which each contain a Hewitt Lake processor, 16GB of cache, and a
custom RAID acceleration ASIC.
WARNING! Heed all warnings and cautions on labeling and throughout this guide to reduce risk of personal injury or
damage to equipment. You must adhere to all safety requirements in this document. Some relate to the entire system, some to
the rack, some to the storage enclosure, and others to the FRUs within it.
Knowledge prerequisites
