Q: Drive Enclosure of EVA 4100 can be used with EVA 4400 or not.

A: NO, M5314 and M6412 are completly different enclosures. One has 14 vertical disks, the other 12 horizontal disks. The new EVAs 4400/6400/8400 use M6412 enclosures only.

Q: Drive Enclosure of EVA 4100 is compatible with 6100 and 8100 or not.

A: YES. EVAs x100 use the same enclosures

Q: Drive Enclosure of EVA 3000 can be used with EVA6000 or not.

A: The chasis and power supplies of the enclosure can be used, you have to replace the I/O modules by the E-PBC ones (spare ending on -005) and maybe the EMU.

Hi vcespon,

Thanks for your reply...Things are claer now.

We can't use Drive Enclosure of EVA 4000 with EVA4400. Right?

No, they have nothing in common. The enclosure is different and the disk drives use a different carrier.

Yes, those rules are correct. There's some more complexity...

EVA4400/6400/8400 use M6412 or M6412A enclosures. The difference is the RoHS compliance of the parts.

Also, EVA4000/6000/8000 can use M5314A and M5314B enclosures, the difference is the same, M5314B is RoHS compliant.

EVA4100/6100/8100 use only M5314C enclosures.
