the DPE is included in the total drive slot quantity of from 96 to 99 drives. If the total drive
slot quantity exceeds from 96 to 99, you will not be able to add another DAE.
In a single SP system, when calculating the number of drives for your VNXe3100 platform,
the DPE is included in the total drive slot quantity of from 48 to 49 drives. If the total drive
slot quantity exceeds from 48 to 49, you will not be able to add another DAE.
