XP256
Storage Array
Overview
The following information is provided as a resource to the Field Engineer, and is intended as an
aid in the installation of the SureStore MC256 Storage Array solution. It is not meant as a
replacement for either the service manual or training materials, but rather attempts to capture the
core information needed to prepare a site for installation.

Power Requirements
Each Disk Array Frame (DKU) requires two power connectors. Each connector has a plug that
will need a mating receptacle for power. It is recommended that the pair of connectors for each
DKU frame be supplied by different source panels for maximum redundancy. The Disk
Controller Unit (DKC) draws its power from the R1 DKU, and as such, requires no additional
power. To determine the number of receptacles needed, multiply the total number of DKUs
by two. In a fully configured 4 DKU installation that would be 8 receptacles as listed below.
