  5. EqualLogic iSCSI SAN for the Dell M1000e Blade chassis • 14 hot-plug 2.5” disk drives • 10G controllers • PS Series firmware / Group Manager Dell PS-M4110 Blade Array • PS-M4110 • M1000e • CMC provides M1000e chassis management • M1000e chassis provides power, cooling, integrated networking and density

  6. PS-M4110 Blade Array - Installed in the M1000e blade chassis. • Two control modules • Two 10 GbE ports - Configurable Management port - 14 hot pluggable 2.5” disks - 6Gb/s SAS drives

  7. Dell PS M4110 and the PowerEdge M1000e 12G Enclosure • PS M4110 inserts into two M1000e slots. • M1000e chassis provides power, cooling, and management for the M4110 and server blades.

  8. PS-M4110 Blade Array • Two 10Gbe iSCSIPorts wired internally to the M-series Ethernet fabrics • M-series Blade Server and M4110 Chassis Environment • Chassis provides power, cooling, Ethernet switch configuration • CMC provides chassis management, configuration and monitoring. • 10G Ethernet fabric selection • - M4110 defaults to B fabric • - Can be on the A fabric with version 1.1 midplane • Support’s DCB (Data Center Bridging) • M4110 performance is similar to PS6100E

  10. Installation and Drawer Operation

  11. Installing The PS M4110 • The PS M4110 installs in the top slots using the rail guides on the top. • The PS M4110 installs in the bottom slots using the slot guides on the bottom. • Slide the array into the M1000e available slots. • Seat the array by sliding the handle firmly in place

  12. PS M4110 Drawer • To open the array inner drawer: • Push the array's front panel and release it quicklyto unlatch the array’s inner drawer. • When the drawer is unlatched will be a “Caution” label visible

  13. PS M4110 Drawer • When the PS-M4110 is out of the M1000 enclosure, the array's drawer cannot be opened unless its safety locking mechanism is released.

  21. 10G IOM fabric • 10G K supports PS-M4110 • Pass through KR with top of rack (TOR) 8024F or TOR NX-5020 • Force 10 (Navasota MLX) • M8024-K (10 gig) (Lavaca) • Brocade M8428-K (Brazos) • Other M-Series IOM fabrics – not supported for PS-M4110 • 10G XAUI • 1GE • FC • Infiniband

  22. Switch Configurations • Stack or create a LAG between switches

  23. Multiple M1000e Chassis Switch IOM’s m1000e Stacked IOMs • For multiple chassis • Stacking should be done in two rings, a left side ring and a right side ring • LAGs should be connected between the rings so that each port on the storage devices and can communicate to any other port on the storage devices. • DCB Support Requires: • DCB external switch (B8000) • IOM: Navasota only • Intel or Brocade CNA Mezz LAG m1000e
