Cabinet Density	The EVA5000 models are available in a 42U graphite storage cabinet. Up to 168 disks can be housed in a single cabinet frame. Using the expansion cabinet with two individual EVA5000 2C12D models, a single EVA5000 solution can scale to 480 disks and two controller pairs in a combined 3 cabinet footprint of just 19.8 square feet (6.035 square meters) in 42U graphite cabs.

Power Distribution	Pre-configured solutions are equipped with suitable 0U Power Distribution Units. These PDUs allow redundant power and are located in the bottom and back of the cabinet for power cable entrance by the floor. The PDUs are 220/240V only and are 0U high with a total of two AC power cords extending outside the cabinet.

Total Cost of Ownership

The EVA5000 has one of the highest density disk storage solutions in the industry. Additionally, the unique virtual architecture allows up to twice the normal effective capacity utilization of traditionally architected storage offerings. And with the virtually Capacity-Free Snapshot (Vsnap), FATA disk drives and the ability to change Vraid types significant duplicate capacity requirements can be eliminated resulting in fewer/smaller storage acquisitions.

Enterprise Virtual Array Fibre Channel Expansion Panel

M5314A dual FC loop 14-bay drive enclosure with mounting hardware for racks. The EVA5000 2C2D and 2C6D customers have the option of having their EVA5000 units upgraded to an EVA5000 2C12D on site by purchasing M5413A dual FC loop 14-bay drive enclosures and one EVA5000 FC Patch Panel for their 2C6D Enterprise Virtual Arrays (patch panel only applies to 2C6D and not 2C6D-A/B/C). This upgrade is performed on the customer site by HP field services. The patch panel is needed when an expansion cabinet is to be supported.
NOTE: These patch panels do not apply to -A -B or -C models.

Enterprise Virtual Array Cable Management Kits	The EVA5000 2C6D models employ some cable management hardware to help keep the FC cables neat and to help maintain the proper bend radius. Some of this same cable management hardware, plus some additional hardware, is being made available for use with the 42U Utility cab (or other utility cabs) where SAN switches with many FC cables can benefit from the cable management hardware. The three kits, with some helpful hints for use, are listed below.
	FC Cable Routing Spools NOTE: 12 cable routing spools are included in the kit. This kit should be used in conjunction with the two "rail" kits below. One kit should be sufficient for a cabinet full of switches.	293357-B21
