What is a SAN Header??

Hi All,

I am expecting a large delivery of our new server infrustructure and I have a question round what a SAN Header is.

I am getting a Dell EMC2 CX3-20 + 3 x Dell DAE4P (15 x 300Gb each) storage trays. I am a little confused on how its all going to fit together.  

I've been told that the EMC2 CX3-20 is a SAN header, what does this mean?

If you need more information about the solution then please do ask.

It's probably just a local retailer description, although I have seen a few references to a Header server for a SAN, but I'm guessing it's just a bad way of describing the hardware that attaches the Fiber SAN in the background...
