NOTE: The recommended process for adding an expansion shelf enclosure involves the following tasks:
• Use the system --license [--validate] [--add] command to validate and install the license for the expansion
shelf enclosure. For specific information, see system --license [--validate] [--add].
• Power off (if needed) the Dell MD1200 storage array, physically connect the expansion shelf enclosure to
the base DR Series system, and power on the expansion shelf enclosure.
• Use the system --add_storage --enclosure <service tag> command .
NOTE: Each added expansion shelf enclosure must be equal to or greater than each DR Series system internal
drive slot capacity (0–11). Because 1 TB drives are the smallest one supported by the expansion shelf enclosure
you add, the 600 Gigabyte (GB) DR Series systems need to use 1 TB or larger sized drives in any expansion shelf
enclosure added to the base system.
NOTE: To verify the current types of storage on a DR Series system, use the DR Series system CLI command:
system --show --storage. For more information, see system --show [--storage].
Syntax
system --add_storage --enclosure CTKHVW1
Result
WARNING: IO to the box will be stopped during enclosure addition.

system --storage [--blink] [--type <internal | external>] [--service_tag <service tag>] [--
disk <slot num>]
Description
Turns on an LED that is used in locating a specific physical disk or data storage expansion shelf (using the system --
storage command) in the DR Series system. Select from the following DR Series system CLI command options:
• --blink: turns on LED on the physical disk or expansion shelf to identify it.
• --type <internal | external>: identifies storage as an internal physical disk or external expansion shelf.
• --service_tag <service tag>: identifies physical disk or expansion shelf by its unique service tag.
• --disk <slot num>: identifies the disk slot number (if no disk slot is defined, it globally affects all disks).
NOTE: There is a counterpart to this command, in which you can turn off the LED that aids in locating the physical
disk or expansion shelf. For more information, see system --storage [--unblink] [--type <internal | external>] [--
service_tag>] [--disk <slot num>].
Syntax
system --storage --blink --type external --service_tag HCM0PT3
Result
Turned on blinking for all disks in enclosure "HCM0PT3".
