No slot should be left empty.Disk Confi guration Rules4.2.The 12big rack fibre and expansion enclosure systems supporttwo different types of disks: SATA and SAS. In order to allowoptimal configurations to be built, the following rules shouldbe observed.• Different disk types cannot be mixed in the same column.• SATA disks must either have all Active-Passive or allActive-Active MUX Transition cards. They cannot be mixedin an array.• To achieve optimum performance, slots should be popu-lated in the following sequence, if all slots are not beingpopulated (see Figure 6):1 - Column 2 (Disks 2, 6, & 10)✦2 - Column 3 (Disks 3, 7, & 11)✦3 - Column 1 (Disks 1, 5, & 9)✦4 - Column 4 (Disks 4, 8, & 12)✦• If it is necessary to install a different type of drive, install thenew drive in a different column (see figure 6).
