PowerEdge MX5000s provides Fabric C SAS connectivity to each compute and one or more PowerEdge MX5016s storage sleds. Compute sleds connect to the PowerEdge MX5000s using either SAS Host Bus Adapters (HBA) or a PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) in the mini-mezzanine PCIe slot.
The PowerEdge MX5000s switches are deployed as redundant pairs to offer multiple SAS paths to the individual SAS disk drives. The PowerEdge MX7000 chassis supports redundant PowerEdge MX5000s in Fabric C.
