A REFERENCE GUIDE FOR OPTIMIZING DELL™ POWERVAULT™ MD1XXX FAMILY SAS SOLUTION
Perform periodic physical inspection of your connections and cabling
Damaged cables and loose connections may cause functional issues with your storage solution.
Dell recommends a physical equipment audit two times a year or anytime after re-cabling or re-
deploying your storage hardware.
3. Dell SAS Product Offering
The PowerVault MD1xxx Family enclosures represent Dell JBOD offering. This includes both the
MD1000 and MD1120 enclosures (see Table 2). These are feature-optimized storage expansion
enclosures that use the latest industry standard storage interconnect technology, Serial Attached
SCSI (SAS). These enclosures support between 2 and 24 physical SAS drives. Along with Dell
host-based RAID controllers, PERC 5/E and PERC 6/E, the PowerVault MD1xxx Family
introduces new levels of performance, capacity, and scalability at industry leading prices.
