Minimum HDD and Maximum SSD Partial Population:
The enclosure supports a minimum of 24 HDDs and one SSD in the drive bay and a configuration of no SSDs
in the center channel for a partially populated enclosure. The enclosure can support a maximum of up to 24
total SSDs in this configuration. The center SSD channel supports a minimum configuration of no SSDs with
a maximum of eight SSDs. The center channel SSDs must be populated from the drive slots closest to the
rear IO first, starting with drive slot 67 and work backward. The remaining unpopulated center channel drive
slots must be populated with drive blanks until the center channel is full. The enclosure does not support a
mix of SAS and SATA drives. The image below details the required configuration for minimum HDD and
maximum SSD with the minimum SSD center channel configuration.
