● 2U24 storage system + nine 2U24 expansion enclosures = 240 disk drives
● 2U24 storage system + three 5U84 expansion enclosures = 276 disk drives
Embedded SMI-S provider:
● Maximum mapping paths (where a path is a volume that is presented through a
host port to an initiator) = 250
● SMI-S is not supported for a system with 5U84 enclosures
● Presenting the same volume (LUN) through FC AND iSCSI to one or more hosts or
host groups is not supported.

System maximum is up to 4 PB or 336 disk drives, whichever comes first. For
example:
● 336 disk drives x 12 TB = 4 PB
● 252 disk drives x 16 TB = 4 PB
Support for up to three ME484 additional expansion enclosures:
● 5U84 storage systems + three 5U84 expansion enclosures = 336 disk drives
Disk drive blanks are not required for empty drive slots
Minimum number of disks in an enclosure is 28
● The number of rows must not differ by more than 1 between the top and bottom
drawers.
● The rows should be populated from front to rear of drawer
