The supported controller modules are 4-port FC SFP+, 4-port iSCSI SFP28, 4-port 10Gbase-T iSCSI, 4-port mini-SAS HD. The
supported IOMs are used in expansion enclosures for adding additional storage.

In single-controller module configurations, the controller module is installed into slot A, and a controller blank is installed in slot
B.
2U24
2U24 enclosures consist of 24 SFF (Small Form Factor) disk drives.
