• At least three persons are required to move the enclosure while it is in the rack (if you are moving the
enclosure off the rails). Even after the drives, power supply units, secondary expander modules,
canisters, fans, and top cover are removed, the enclosure weighs approximately 43 kg (95 lbs).
• To maximize rack stability, always install the expansion enclosure in the lowest possible position in the
rack.

support up to 92 SAS drives; however, the quantity varies depending on the number of drives ordered.
Table 14 on page 32 summarizes the weight of the SAS drives in a 5U expansion enclosure. All Storwize
V5000 Gen2 systems that are running software level 7.8 can support the 5U expansion enclosure.
