The NetApp Hardware system configuration guide, http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/hardware/NetApp/syscfg/ is the place to look for this type of question.
I found the below:
The following table shows the supported types of disk storage shelves and disk drives on the F85.
Disk Shelf Disk drives Standard power supply/optional RPS Notes SCSI DiskShelf12 18-GB SCSI (PN: X240A) or 36-GB SCSI (PN: X241A): Maximum of 12 per shelf Maximum of storage support is 648 GB total per F85, including internal drives AC power supply: 460W PN: SP-601 Two power supplies per shelf required.

-------- The F87 does not support disk storage shelves because it has internal disk storage.
