Since the book says the enclosure can be split into 1,2 or 4
independent units then I'm guessing the three 8 drive bays are
not significant?

Rob, IBM i will only work with the 5887s set in MODE 1. That
means all 24 drive locations are seen by the adapter pair.

Any other setting, any other cabling is not supported and could
lead to data corruption.
