Licenses
Adding an expansion shelf enclosure requires that you order a license for each enclosure from a Dell Account
representative at the time that you order the DR Series system. You can also order this at a later date when you want to
add additional external storage to your base DR Series system. To obtain the license, you can download it from the
support.dell.com website using your service tag or use an email link from your Dell Account representative.
If you already have a Dell MD1200 storage array, the order process supports licensing for existing hardware that you
want to add to a base DR Series system. Each license supports one expansion shelf enclosure, and the system supports
multiple enclosures using the DR Series system service tag. Because the licenses are tied to the system service tag, if
the internal drives are moved to another system chassis, this would require a new license. For more information about
the expansion shelf enclosures, see “DR Series Expansion Shelf” in
DR Series System and Data Operations .
NOTE: The 300 Gigabyte (GB) drive capacity (2.7 TB) version of the DR Series system does not support the addition
of expansion shelf enclosures to add external storage to the base system.
Installing an Expansion Shelf License
Make sure that you have located the license for expansion shelf prior to attempting to install and validate it.
To install a license for an expansion shelf for the DR Series system, complete the following:
NOTE: The 300 Gigabyte (GB) drive capacity (2.7 TB) version of the DR Series system does not support the addition
of expansion shelf enclosures.
1. In the navigation panel, select Support → License (or double-click License).
The License page is displayed, showing a License File Location pane and a Number of Installed Licenses pane.
2. In the License File Location pane, click Browse... to navigate to the license file location (typically, it is downloaded
to /store/license).
3. Click Install License and follow all prompts.
If successful, a License has been successfully installed dialog is displayed, and the new license appears in the
Number of Installed Licenses pane. The Number of Installed Licenses pane lists the total number of installed
licenses, and defines each installed license by ID, a brief description, an entitlement ID (license tag), and the status
of the license.
