M1000e Blade chassis
• 14 hot-plug 2.5” disk drives
• 10G controllers
• PS Series firmware / Group Manager
M1000e
• CMC provides M1000e
chassis management
• M1000e chassis provides
power, cooling, integrated
networking and density
PS-M4110 Blade Array
- Installed in the M1000e blade chassis.
- Two control modules
- Two 10 GbE ports
- Configurable Management port
- 14 hot pluggable 2.5” disks
- 6Gb/s SAS drives
Dell PS M4110 and the PowerEdge M1000e 12G
Enclosure
• PS M4110 inserts into two M1000e slots.
• M1000e chassis provides power, cooling, and management for the M4110
and server blades.
PS-M4110 Blade Array
 Two 10Gbe iSCSI Ports wired internally to the M-series Ethernet fabrics
 M-series Blade Server and M4110 Chassis Environment
 Chassis provides power, cooling, Ethernet switch configuration
 CMC provides chassis management, configuration and monitoring.
 10G Ethernet fabric selection
- M4110 defaults to B fabric
- Can be on the A fabric with version 1.1 midplane
 Support’s DCB (Data Center Bridging)
 M4110 performance is similar to PS6100E

Installation and
Drawer
Operation
Installing The PS M4110
• The PS M4110 installs in the top slots using the rail guides on the
top.
• The PS M4110 installs in the bottom slots using the slot guides on
the bottom.
• Slide the array into the M1000e available slots.
• Seat the array by sliding the handle firmly in place
PS M4110 Drawer
• To open the array inner drawer:
– Push the array's front panel and release it quickly to unlatch the array’s
inner drawer.
• When the drawer is unlatched will be a “Caution” label visible
PS M4110 Drawer
• When the PS-M4110 is out of the M1000 enclosure, the array's
drawer cannot be opened unless its safety locking mechanism
is released.

Multiple M1000e Chassis Switch IOM’s
m1000e
Stacked IOMs
LAG
m1000e
• For multiple chassis
• Stacking should be done in two rings,
a left side ring and a right side ring
• LAGs should be connected between
the rings so that each port on the
storage devices and can
communicate to any other port on
the storage devices.
• DCB Support Requires:
• DCB external switch (B8000)
• IOM: Navasota only
• Intel or Brocade CNA Mezz
