Depending on the configuration, the DXi4700 Node supports 6 or 12 high capacity (4 TB) hard disk drives
(HDDs) (see Figure 5 below). The Node hard drives are used for the operating system, system software,
and indexes needed for data deduplication, replication, space reclamation.
The DXi4700 Expansion modules (JBODs) each support 12 high capacity (4 TB) hard disk drives (see
Figure 6 below). The Expansion module hard drives are used for data storage.
All hard disk drives are mounted and pre-assembled in drive carriers (see Figure 8 on the next page and
Figure 7 below). All drives are hot swappable.
