SSD Partial Population Rules
The following population rules for SSDs must be followed for a partially populated enclosure to function
properly:
• The minimum amount of drives required for the enclosure to function properly is two SSDs.
• Each increase in drive must be done in increments of two.
• Each row that is partially populated with drives (HDD and/or SSD) must have the population of that row
completed with blanks.
• A combination of HDDs and SSDs are allowed, but the rule of increasing capacity must be done by two
when SSDs are involved.
• The remainder of the enclosure, preceding a populated row may remain empty.
• When SSDs are involved, the population of drive slots must be done in the order and positions
displayed below.
• Repeat the configuration for each following row.
