Page 10: Chapter 3: Initial System Setup And Configuration For Mx5016S
After you receive your PowerEdge MX5016s system, you must set up your system in the enclosure. NOTE: If your storage sled is shipped installed in the enclosure, Dell EMC recommend that you remove the sled before you install the enclosure on the rack, to reduce chassis weight. -
Page 11: Storage Sled Mapping Configurations
The Fab-C Mezz controller can be either PERC H745P MX, or HBA330 MMZ. Enclosure assignment mode is required if the PowerEdge MX5016s is to be shared between multiple compute sleds (that is clustered). Only HBA330 MMZ controller supports shared assignments. - Page 12 • Drive-Assigned mode assigns the individual drive from the PowerEdge MX5016s to another compute sleds (but cannot be assigned to more than one sled simultaneously). The Fab-C Mezz controller on the mapped compute sled can be either a PERC H745P MX, or HBA330 MMZ.
