Hardware features
Contained in a 2U platform architecture, the VNXe3150 DPE weighs approximately 52 lb
(23.6 kg) for a 25-drive DPE to 58.2 lb (26.4 kg) for a 12-drive DPE. The 25-drive DPE
measures 3.5 inches high x 17.5 inches wide x 17 inches deep (8.89 cm x 44.45 cm x
43.18 cm) and the 12-drive DPE measures 3.5 inches high x 17.5 inches wide x 19.7
inches deep (8.89 cm x 44.45 cm x 50.16 cm). Between the front and rear of the
enclosure, a midplane distributes power and signals to all the enclosure components. The
VNXe3150 platform 2U DPE SPs and the power supply modules plug directly into the
midplane connections.
Note: The previously mentioned dimensions are approximate and do not include a rack or
cabinet enclosure.
provides more information about the physical,
environmental, and power details that make up the VNXe3150 platform.
Configured for AC-input power, the VNXe3150 platform includes the following hardware
features:
◆
One 2U DPE:
• On the front of the 2U DPE, three types of disk drives are supported in two types of
disk drive carriers; a 2U, 12 (3.5-inch) disk drive carrier or a 2U, 25 (2.5-inch) disk
drive carrier. The disk drives supported are Serial attached-SCSI (SAS)
,
near-line
SAS (NL-SAS), and Flash. For more information about the supported disk drives for
the VNXe3150, refer to the

document.
• On the rear of the 2U DPE, a single SP (SP A) with a hot-swappable 1-GB Cache
Protection Module or a dual SP (A and B) is supported; each SP consists of:
– A CPU module with an Intel Xeon Quad Core 2.13-GHz processor with two
Double Data Rate Three (DDR3) synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM) slots
supporting 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) of memory for a single SP and 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) of
memory per SP for a dual SP (for a total of 16 GB per DPE in a dual SP
configuration)
