Overview

DAE description

Each DAE consists of the following components:

Drive carrier

Disk drives

Midplane

Link control cards (LCCs)

Power supply/cooling modules

EMI shielding

Drive carrier

Disk drive carriers are plastic assemblies that provide smooth, reliable contact with the 
enclosure slot guides and midplane connectors. Each carrier has a handle with a latch and 
spring clips. The latch holds the disk drive in place to ensure proper connection with the 
midplane. 

Figure 26 on page 39

 shows the disk drive ready LEDs that are integrated into 

the chassis that the carrier is in. These LEDs primarily show the disk drive readiness as 
well as activity.

Disk drives

You can visually distinguish between drive types by their different latch and handle 
mechanisms and by the type, capacity, and speed labels on each drive. You can add or 
remove a disk drive while the DAE is powered up, but you should exercise special care 
when removing drives while they are in use. Disk drives are extremely sensitive electronic 
components. For more information about the supported disk drives for the VNXe3150, 
refer to the

 VNXe™ Series Storage Systems Disk and OE Matrix

 document.

Midplane

A midplane separates the front-facing disk drives from the rear-facing LCCs and power 
supply/cooling modules. It distributes power and signals to all components in the 
enclosure. LCCs, power supply/cooling modules, and disk drives plug directly into the 
midplane.
