Module type Location
Drive Carrier Modules ALL drive bays must be populated with drives. No bays should be empty
Power Cooling Modules Two must be installed. Full power redundancy is provided – this lets the system continue to operate while a faulty PCM is replaced.
IOM Modules A maximum of two SBB I/O modules can be installed. The unused slot must have a blank I/O module. One IOM must be installed.
