10.2.1 Add Drive Enclosure
This function enables DEs to be added without stopping the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system.
Use GUI to install any DEs that are added.
Specify between DE#01 - DE#09 for the drive enclosures that are to be added.
The procedure to expand a DE is as follows:

→ The start screen appears.
• When logged in using a user account with the "Admin" default role, this function is available only with
the ETERNUS DX80 S2/DX90 S2. To use this function with the ETERNUS DX410 S2/DX440 S2 or the
ETERNUS DX8100 S2/DX8700 S2, a user account with the "Maintainer" default role (or "Maintenance
Operation" policy) is required.
• Only one DE can be added at a time.
• 2.5-inch type DEs and 3.5-inch type DEs can be installed in the same ETERNUS DX Disk storage system.
• Be sure to use authorized expansion parts. If parts other than the expansion parts are used, operation is
not guaranteed.
• This function cannot be used under the following conditions:
- When the general status of the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system is other than "Normal"
- When DE#09 is already installed (when the status of DE#09 is " Normal")
• If expansion fails due to an error or problem, the expansion can be restarted from the interrupted point
by starting this function again and recovering the failed expansion parts.
• DEs can be added regardless of whether drives are installed or not.
