Array EnclosureA 2U Disk Processor Enclosure (DPE) with twenty-five 2.5” drives
Drive Enclosure (DAE - Disk Array Enclosure)All-Flash (F) models support 2.5” drives in the 2U twenty-five drive tray.
Hybrid models support 2.5“drives in 2U twenty-five drive and 3.5” drives in 3U fifteen drive trays.
Standby Power SystemDell Unity systems are powered by 2 power supplies (PS) per DPE/DAE. Each power supply can
provide power to
the entire module if the peer PS has been removed or is faulted. DPE power during a power failure is
provided by a
Battery Back Up (BBU) module. BBU is located within the SP enclosure and provides power to a single module
