Which I/O modules does the Unity 380/380F system support?

The Dell EMC Unity 380 and 380F models support a specific range of I/O modules for connectivity. According to the official hardware specifications, these models can be configured with a 4-port 12 Gb/s SAS I/O module for backend expansion and a 4-port 10 GbE Base-T I/O module for host connectivity. Higher-speed options like 32 Gb/s Fibre Channel and 100 GbE are reserved for the higher-end Unity XT models (e.g., 880/880F).
