NOTE:
The HP Storage mpx Manager software is available as a separate download or as
part of the HP Storage Data Migration Utilities kit which includes additional data migration
tools.
The MPX200 chassis contains one or two router blades, two PCMs, and a mid-plane. There are
two types of router blades: a 4-port 1-GbE blade and a 2-port 10-GbE/2-port 1-GbE blade. Both
blade options include two 8-Gb/s FC ports. MPX200 dual-blade configurations provide for high
availability with failover between blades.
NOTE:
Each PCM has three variable-speed fans that provide power and cooling. You can remove
and replace a PCM at any time. To ensure that the MPX200 chassis remains operational, there
must be at least one functioning PCM. Each PCM is capable of powering two blades. The PCM
cools the corresponding blade; therefore, when you remove a PCM, you must replace it within 7
minutes or the blade will shut down due to an over-temperature condition.
