Drives 0–5 mapped to sled 1 2 Drives 6–11 mapped to sled 2
3 Drives 12–17 mapped to sled 3 4 Drives 18–23 mapped to sled 4
5 (Optional) NVMe hard drive location

Drives 0–2 mapped to sled 1 2 Drives 3–5 mapped to sled 2
3 Drives 6–8 mapped to sled 3 4 Drives 9–11 mapped to sled 4
NOTE: The warranty of the drives are linked to the Service Tag of the corresponding sled.
Expander zoning
A SAS expander board allows higher, single-volume hard drive congurations. An integrated expander device expands each sleds hard drive
footprint.
The Dell EMC PowerEdge C6400 enclosure allows four sleds to access a single expander controller at the same time. there are two zoning
options available, they are:
