About installing your storage-system hardware
This section describes how to install your storage-system hardware. In general, you
should install the hardware starting at the lowest available rack/cabinet space and work
up from there. EMC recommends placing the disk processor enclosure (DPE) in the lowest
cabinet location first. The DPE contains dual storage processors as well as the vault
drives for the system. It can also contain additional disks. Additional disk storage
(optional DAEs) should be installed above the DPE.
