Expansion frame (model 86E) overview:
The DS8886 supports up to four expansion frames (model 86E) that can be added
to a base frame (model 986). A minimum of 256 GB system memory and a 16-core
processor is required, if expansion frames are added.
The first expansion frame supports up to 192 2.5-inch standard disk drives. The
second, third, and fourth expansion frames support up to 384 2.5-inch standard
disk drives. When all four frames are used, the DS8886 can support a total of 1,440
2.5-inch standard disk drives in a compact footprint, creating a high-density
