DAEs are optional. If you have a DAE, it can either be a 2U, 25 disk DAE or a 3U, 15 disk DAE. 
The DAEs use 2U rail kit for a 2U, 25 disk DAE or 3U rail kit for a 3U, 15 disk DAE. 
If additional DAEs are ordered the DAEs should be installed immediately above the 
blade enclosure. Either type of DAE may be installed.
The DAE is heavy and should be installed into a rack by two people. To avoid personal
injury and/or damage to the equipment, do not attempt to lift and install the enclosure into a 
rack without a mechanical lift or help from another person.
