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.
Note: When installing SSDs for this configuration, the preinstalled HDDs will have to be moved
