Access 3340 compute node and 5U84 storage shelves

The Veritas 5U84 storage shelves provide storage capacity to the two Access 3340 compute nodes. You must have a Primary Storage Shelf that connects to the compute nodes. You can use up to three optional Expansion Storage Shelves for additional storage.

With the required 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf, the compute nodes operate at 220 VAC at 3.1 A with C13 and C14 connectors. The storage shelves require 200 - 220 VAC at 6.67 A with C19 and C20 connectors.

Before you install the hardware, refer to the following section for important details about the dimensions of the hardware.

See Dimensions and determining rack locations.

Each compute node is two rack units (2RU) high.

Each storage shelf is 5RU high and contains 2 drawers with 42 disk drive slots per drawer.

The rear of the Primary shelf includes two redundant RAID controller I/O modules. The controller modules connect the Primary shelf to the compute nodes. Each module has a SAS3 Expansion port for connection to Expansion Storage Shelves.

The Expansion shelves contain two I/O modules for connectivity to the Primary shelf and to other Expansion shelves.

Refer to the Veritas Access 3340 Appliance Product Description at the following site for details about usable storage capacity.
