Partially populated S2448 and S3448 disk drive slots The IBM COS S2448 and S3448 Disk Enclosures provide support for up to 48 disk drive modules. It can be partially populated to allow use with fewer than 48 disk drive modules. To ensure proper thermal and vibrational characteristics are maintained, the disk population must be increased in fixed increments and installed in specific slot locations.
