Expander zoning
A SAS expander board allows higher, single-volume hard drive configurations. An integrated expander device expands each sleds
hard drive footprint.
The Dell EMC PowerEdge C6400 enclosure supports four sled access to a single expander controller at the same time. The
enclosure provides two expander zoning options:
● Up to 6 SAS/SATA device of each sled in Split Mode (6+6+6+6)
