About the CX200-Series DPE2
Overview
The Model CX200-Series of 2-gigabit disk processor enclosures
(DPE2), shown in Figure 1-1, are intelligent, high-performance,
high-capacity disk-array storage systems that use a Fibre Channel
Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) or fabric as their interconnect interface.
Each enclosure is only 3U (5.25 inches) high, but can include 15 hard
disk drives. The system’s modular, scalable design provides
additional disk storage as your needs increase. The examples and
illustrations in this manual show the rackmounted DPE2 in a
standard 40U EMC cabinet.

Model CX200 Disk Processor Enclosure (DPE2)
A standard CX200 can support one additional disk-array enclosure
(DAE2, also called an array module). A DAE2 is a basic 15-disk
enclosure without a storage processor (SP). The CX200 and DAE2
together support up to 30 disk modules in a single disk-array storage
system.
Economical CX200LC systems do NOT support an additional DAE2.
