Expansion Shelf Licenses
This topic introduces the license required for adding external data storage in the form of Dell MD1200 storage arrays
that are referred to as expansion shelf enclosures. Expansion shelf enclosures allow you to add supplemental data
storage capacity to support DR Series system operations. Any expansion shelf enclosure that is added must be equal to
or greater than each DR Series system internal drive slot capacity (0–11). Expansion shelf enclosures can be added to
the internal data storage in certain capacities. Licenses define the expansion shelf enclosure size in a license = size
format (for example, shelf = 18TB), and licenses are added on a per-shelf basis. For the maximum number of expansion
shelf enclosures per DR Series system, see “Expansion Unit Limits” in the Dell DR Series System Interoperability Guide .
