About your Dell PowerEdge FX2/FX2s

The Dell PowerEdge FX2/FX2s is a 2U enclosure that can support up to four half-width compute sleds, up
to eight quarter-width compute sleds, up to two full-width compute sleds, or a mix of compute sled
types. The PowerEdge FX2s enclosure also supports half-width storage sleds mapped to the compute
sleds.
NOTE: For information on mapping configurations from storage sleds to compute sleds in the
PowerEdge FX2s enclosure, see the Dell PowerEdge FD332 Owner's Manual at Dell.com/
poweredgemanuals.
NOTE: PowerEdge FX2 does not support storage sleds.
For the enclosure and sleds to function as a system, you must install the sleds in the enclosure. Enclosure
components such as power supply units, fan modules, Chassis Management Controller (CMC) module,
KVM panel, and I/O modules for external network connectivity are shared resources of the sleds installed
in the enclosure.
PowerEdge FX2s supports eight low-profile PCIe slots assigned to the compute sleds in the enclosure.
NOTE: PowerEdge FX2 does not support PCIe slots.
