Any information about the Clariion DPER?

I recently acquired a Clariion DPER unit, (so i've been told it's a.k.a.
FC5600?) it seems to be complete with exception to drives to populate its 10
slots. I plan on getting the drives soon but I want to first find some
actual information on the thing before I drop a decent chunk of money on
drives. Does anyone know where I might be able to find any information on
the unit? PDF manuals, howtos, software, anything would be
fantastic....scouring EMC's site and the rest of the internet has shown me
nothing...

Thanks for any responses!!

You need an EMC Powerlink account and register your Clariion with
them(EMC). It will tell you everything you want to know about that
unit. Codelevels, Firmware, Drive info, specs, everything.

Heh.....I wish I could figure out how to get a Powerlink account.....here's
my results from 'applying' at EMC's website a couple weeks ago:

"Thank you for your interest in Powerlink, EMC's secure web site for
customers and partners.

We have not been able to confirm that your company is an EMC customer or has
the necessary alliance or channel partner legal agreement with EMC,
therefore, your Powerlink account has been deactivated.

If you feel we are in error, please contact your local EMC account manager.

Kind Regards,
The Powerlink Team"

Apparently, since I got their (legacy) hardware second-hand, it (as well as
I) is worth nothing to them, or anybody. *sigh*
