Physical requirements
The floor space at the installation site must be strong enough to support the combined weight of the rack, controller
enclosures, drive enclosures (expansion), and any additional equipment. The site also requires sufficient space for installation,
operation, and servicing of the enclosures, together with sufficient ventilation to allow a free flow of air to all enclosures.

LFF enclosure (12 disks) and "2U24" denotes the SFF enclosure (24 disks).
Table 28
