Transition Guide for PowerVault MD3200i and MD3220i Series Arrays
Connecting Expansion and Enclosures
Dell™ PowerVault™ MD3200i and MD3220i arrays standardize on the 6Gb/s (SAS 2.0) Mini-SAS cable (SFF
8088). The Mini-SAS cable is unique from the SAS cable used with the previous generation Dell™
PowerVault™ MD3000i.
Mini-SAS Cable Transition
Connectors on both ends of the SAS cable are universally keyed. Either end of the cable can be
connected to the MD32X0i or MD1200/MD1220 expansion enclosures.
To remove the SAS cable, pull the pull-tab to release the cable from the SAS connector.
Product Support
Ethernet Components
The MD3200i series of storage arrays is compatible all industry-standard GbE switches and NICs. The
MD3200i series of arrays do not support 10/100 directly connected to the array with the exception being
the management port.
The free initiators that ship with the Windows and Linux operating systems are the preferred connectivity
choice for the arrays. These initiators provide ample performance for this class of array.
