3. Using the systems management software, assign Storage Sled to the Compute Sleds. For more information, see the

Storage sled mapping configurations
The expander modules inside a Storage Sled map the drives in the Storage Sled to Compute Sleds in the enclosure. The PowerEdge
MX7000 enclosure supports multiple Storage Sled to compute sled mapping configurations.
NOTE:
Storage Sled configurations map Storage Sled drive bays to Compute Sleds in the enclosure.
Drive assignment
Each slot in the PowerEdge MX7000 chassis supports a Compute Sled or a Storage Sled, and there are no fixed mappings for the sleds.
Using the OpenManage Enterprise-Modular web interface the disks in a storage sled can be mapped to a Compute Sled that gives you the
following options:
•
Enclosure-Assigned mode
•
Drive-Assigned mode
Enclosure-Assigned mode:
•
All the drives in the PowerEdge MX5016s are assigned to the selected compute sleds.
•
The Fab-C Mezz controller can be either PERC H745P MX, or HBA330 MMZ. Enclosure assignment mode is required if the
PowerEdge MX5016s is to be shared between multiple compute sleds (that is clustered). Only HBA330 MMZ controller supports
shared assignments.
