Configuration Diagram

Configuration Diagram is the useful tool for configure D120h. This diagram shows three components. One is the standard components, second is the selectable components, and last is the optional components. For example of 1U Module Enclosure, drive cage, fan, rail and PSU is the standard component which has been already installed into 1U Module Enclosure. All you have to do is purchase two nodes (Server Modules) which is the selectable components. In addition, the rest, you can install more two nodes (server modules) as you need.
