DXi6900-S Array and Expansion Modules
The DXi6900-S Array modules (RBODs) and Expansion modules (EBODs) are used to provide additional
capacity (backup data storage) for the DXi6900 system. Each DXi6900-S Array or Expansion module
contains 12 drive carriers and provides 68 TB of licensable storage.
The DXi6900-S can include 1 or 2 Array modules (RBODs). Array modules connect to the Node and
contain dual RAID controllers, which provide storage management logic. The DXi6900-S includes 0 to 6
Expansion modules (EBODs), which connect in a chain to the Array modules, and which provide additional
storage capacity only.
