SC100/SC120 Expansion Enclosure Drives

Dell Enterprise hard disk drives (HDDs) and Enterprise solid-state drives (eSSDs) are the only drives that
can be installed in SC100/SC120 expansion enclosures. If a non-Dell Enterprise drive is installed, the
Storage Center prevents the drive from being managed.
The drives in an SC100 expansion enclosure are installed horizontally. The drives in an SC120 expansion
enclosure are installed vertically. The indicators on the drives provide status and activity information.

SC100/SC120 Expansion Enclosure Drive Numbering

In an SC100/SC120 expansion enclosure, the drives are numbered from left to right starting from 0.
Dell Storage Client identifies drives as XX-YY, where XX is the unit ID of the expansion enclosure that
contains the drive, and YY is the drive position inside the expansion enclosure.
• An SC100 holds up to 12 drives, which are numbered in rows starting from 0 at the top-left drive.

• An SC120 holds up to 24 drives, which are numbered left to right starting from 0.
