Redundant PCMs must be compatible modules of the same type (both AC).
2
The fan control module (FCM) is a separate CRU (not integrated into a PCM).

Supported controller modules include 4-port FC/iSCSI, 4-port HD mini-SAS, and 4-port iSCSI 10Gbase-T. Supported IOMs are
used in expansion enclosures for adding storage.
2U enclosure core product
The design concept is based on an enclosure subsystem together with a set of plug-in modules.
The following figures show component locations—together with CRU slot indexing—relative to 2U enclosure front and rear
panels.
