Other parts, such as the cover, secondary expander modules, and fans, are installed in the enclosure.
However, due to weight considerations, you must remove some parts and then reinstall them as part of
the initial installation process.
Note: Drives are not included in installation package for the enclosure; they are provided in a separate
package.
