Overview
The Enclosure Storage Module (ESM) provides system data connectivity through 3 Mini-SAS HD ports located at the rear of the component. Each port supports four SAS connections per ESM, totaling 12 connections. These ports support 12Gbps, 6Gbps, and 3Gbps data transfer rates. When the 2U24 Flash Storage Platform is configured to use SAS SSDs, the enclosure will come with two ESMs installed. When it is configured to use SATA SSDs, there will only be one ESM.
The following is a list of important ESM features:
3 SAS ports support 4 connections each, 12 total over Mini-SAS HD cables
