Component
Description
40U rack
Titan D racks that include:
●
Gen3 0U PDUs supporting single phase, three-phase delta, and three-phase WYE
●
Front and rear doors
●
Racking by Dell EMC manufacturing
In addition to the Dell EMC-racked EX300 appliance, the EX300 nodes can be installed in
customer-provided racks. For more information on third-party racking requirements, see the
ECS EX300 Third-Party Rack Installation Guide
.
Back-end (BE) switches for
private network connection
●
Two Dell EMC S5148F 25 GbE 1U ethernet switches with 48 x 25 GbE SFP ports and 6 x
100 GbE uplink ports.
●
2 x 100 GbE VLT cables per HA pair.
Front-end (FE) switches for
customer public network
connection
●
Two optional Dell EMC S5148F 25 GbE 1U ethernet switches can be obtained for network
connection or the customer can provide their own 10 GbE or 25 GbE HA pair for the front
end.
●
If the customer provides their own front-end switches, they must supply all VLT cables,
SFPs, or external connection cables.
●
If Dell EMC S5148F 25 GbE front-end switches are used, the 25 GbE ports are configured
to run at 10 GbE to connect to the EX300 nodes, and 2 x 100 GbE VLT cables are
provided.
Nodes
●
Minimum number of nodes per rack is 5 with increments of 1 node up to a maximum of 16
nodes.
●
HDD sizes can be 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, 8TB or 16TB. ECS 3.5 and later supports 16TB. (All drives
sizes must be the same in the node)
●
Within a Dell EMC manufactured rack delivered from the factory, all nodes within the rack
are of the exact same drive size. For node upgrades in the field, nodes with other sized
drives are allowed within the rack.
●
Twelve SATA hard disk drives (HDDs) in each node.
●
480GB M.2 (BOSS) system disk in each node.
●
64GB RAM per node.
●
Single Intel Xeon 8-core 85W CPU
