The PowerEdge MX5016s is a single-width storage sled that provides disk expansion for the PowerEdge MX series compute sleds that support: • ○ Up to 16 hot-swappable 2.5-inch SAS drives ○ Two hot-swappable expanders providing dual SAS paths for all drives ○ Dual x4 SAS links to the MX platform infrastructure ○ 12 Gb/s SAS Dell EMCManagement Module M9002m The Dell EMC MX9002m Management Module controls the overall chassis power, cooling, and hosts the OpenManage EnterpriseModular (OME-M) console.
The 10 Gb Ethernet pass-through module enables you to use optical SFP+ (short reach or long reach) and direct- attached copper (DCA) SFP+ modules. NOTE: The Ethernet pass-through module does not support 1G mezzanine cards in the sleds. • Dell EMC PowerEdge MX 25 Gb Ethernet Pass-Through Module To better address high-performance network and scalability requirements, we are increasingly implementing 25 GbE for their customers.
3 Enclosure overview The Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000 is the next-generation M1000e follow-on chassis and a revolutionary architecture set to be the future foundation of modular architecture. The PowerEdge MX7000 enclosure is a 7U chassis that supports: • Up to eight standard height, single-width sleds, or four standard height, double-width sleds. Up to seven Storage sleds can be populated in the enclosure. NOTE: One compute node must be present and it must be mapped to a storage node.

Fabrics and modules There are several connections on the Main Distribution Board to enable communication between the IOMs. Between each pair of IOMs (C1 and C2), there is a link for intermodule communication. This link is referred as Fabric-V in the schematics. This link supports a x1 connection with each lane operating up to 10 Gbps per direction. In addition to the Fabric-V, there are handshake signals between the two modules to facilitate redundancy/failover or other module to module communication.
