Dell EqualLogic Controller Modules
Dell EqualLogic Controller Modules
Each array is equipped with two controllers, providing redundancy and load-balancing capabilities. These controllers feature one or more data Ethernet interfaces for iSCSI traffic, along with a dedicated management interface. Typically, an array will have 2 or more iSCSI Ethernet interfaces and one management interface. Arrays under the PS XX00 model come with Gigabit Ethernet ports, while those under the PS XX10 model are equipped with 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports for iSCSI traffic, as well as a 10 Mbit/s / 100 Mbit/s management port. Depending on the model, the interfaces may be copper-based Gigabit Ethernet, 10GBASE-T, or fiber-optic interfaces utilizing small form-factor pluggable transceivers. Controllers can be easily distinguished by their unique “faceplate” profile and color.
