Mixed Configuration - Full Height and Half Height Population

The c3000 enclosure is divided into 2 zones or quadrants by the horizontal support metalwork. Zone 1 includes bays 1,
2, 5, and 6; Zone 2 contains bays 3, 4, 7, and 8. Within each zone a removable divider is used to support half height
devices. To install a full-height blade in either zone this divider must be removed. An optional mini-divider support
bracket is included with every c3000 enclosure. When using a mix of full-height and half height blades in Zone 2, the
optional mini-divider can be used to help support the half-height blades if they are being used in slots 7 and/or 8. Each
zone can support up to 2 full-height blades, or up to 4 half height blades, or a mix of 1 full-height blade and up to 2
half-height blades.
