About the SCv2080 Storage System

The SCv2080 storage system provides the central processing capabilities for the Storage Center Operating System (OS) and management of RAID storage.

The SCv2080 storage system holds the physical disks that provide storage for the Storage Center. If additional storage is needed, the SCv2080 also supports a single SC180 expansion enclosure.

SCv2080 Storage System Hardware

The SCv2080 is a 5U storage system that supports up to 84 3.5–inch hot-swappable SAS hard drives installed in a two‐drawer, three‐row, 14‐column configuration.

The SCv2080 ships with two redundant power supply units, five redundant cooling fans, and up to two redundant storage controllers. The storage controller contains multiple I/O ports that provide communication with front-end servers and back-end storage.

SCv2080 Storage System Monitoring and Diagnostics

The Storage Center OS generates alert messages for temperature, I/O module, fan module, disk, and power conditions for Storage Center components. Use the Dell Storage Client to view these alerts.

The SCv2080 also has LED indicators to notify you of a possible problem with the storage system.

NOTE: Dell OpenManage Server Administrator is not available for the SCv2080.
