1. Use a dual 2U SPS when a 4U DAE with Flash drives is used in a Vault drive configuration.
Otherwise, the dual 1U SPS is used with the 2U or 3U DAE as the Vault drive.
2. The term Data Mover is used throughout this guide. The term Data Mover is also referred to as a
blade. These terms are interchangeable and basically mean the same.
