Dell PowerStore Hardware Information Guide for PowerStore 500T Model

PowerStore 500T appliances serve Block and File services, and the software stack is deployed directly on the system.

The PowerStore 500T hardware consists of a 2U, two node storage solution. The enclosure as a whole is called a base enclosure.

Between the front and rear of the enclosure, a mid-plane distributes power and signals to all the enclosure components. On the front of the base enclosure, drives connect to the mid-plane. On the rear of the base enclosure, the nodes and power supply modules connect to the mid-plane. The I/O modules connect directly to the node. Each node contains an internal battery backup module, redundant fan modules, DDR4 memory, and one Intel Cascade Lake 12C processor.
