V3 storage cabinet layout

Hi Phany,

The 6800V3 storage networking diagram is as follows:

The performance of dual-loop storage is better than single-loop storage. The storage controller enclosure is placed in the middle of the hard disk enclosure, which can make the cascade cable the shortest (mini-sas cable length should not exceed 5M).

So, it's better to put the control in the middle, thanks.

Hello,

Plan the locations of storage devices in a cabinet

1. The bearable weight of the guide rails of a cabinet should be greater than 50 kg, and the bearable weight of the guide rails of a 6 U controller enclosure should be greater than 95kg.

2. It is recommended that the controller enclosure be installed in the middle of the cabinet (from 19th U to 24th U). 2 U space should be reserved above and beneath the controller enclosure for installing a potential side-hanging fiber reel and the cable tray respectively.

3. The layout plan meets the requirement of power supply and cooling system of the equipment room (depending on the cooling effect of the air conditioner). It is recommended that you place up to 10 disk enclosures in a single cabinet.

4. You are advised to install disk enclosures from the bottom up in descending order of weight.

5. It is recommended that you reserve a 1 U (44.45 mm, 1.75 inch) space between two devices, if possible. Alternatively, you can set five disk enclosures as a group. In a cabinet, at least 1 U space should be reserved between disk enclosure groups for convenient management and less shock transfer.

6. You are advised to reserve a 2 U space at the bottom of the cabinet to facilitate cabling, ventilation, heat dissipation, and maintenance of the devices located in the lower part of the cabinet.
