Planning device installation positions

2a
Total required cabinet space = 2 U + 2 U x (Number of 2 U disk enclosures) + 4 U x (Number of 4 U disk enclosures)
For example, if the OceanStor 5500 V3 is equipped with three 2 U disk enclosures and three 4 U disk enclosures,
the space required by a cabinet is calculated as follows:
20 U = 2 U + 2 U x 3 + 4 U x 3
Note: The height of the storage system is measured by the unit of U. 1 U equals 44.45 mm (1.75 inches).
