HP XP7 Owner Guide (H6F56-96006)

Scalability
XP7 Storage is highly scalable and can be configured in several ways as needed to meet customer
requirements:
• The minimum configuration is a single rack containing one controller chassis and two drive
chassis.
• One to three racks containing one controller chassis and up to eight drive chassis. A drive
chassis can contain up to 192 2 1/2 disk drives, 96 3 1/2 disk drives, or 192 SSDs. Drives
can be intermixed. See Table 2 (page 19) for details.
• The maximum configuration is a six rack twin version of the above that contains two controller
chassis and up to 16 drive chassis containing up to 2304 2 1/2 inch disk drives. The total
internal raw physical storage space of this configuration is approximately 4511 TB (based
on 4 TB HDDs).
