Capacity expansion license for StoreOnce 5500
This is storage that is additional to the base product. Each Capacity Upgrade after installation requires a
license that must be loaded.
The HPE StoreOnce 5500 System supports two capacity expansion options.
• BB941A: HPE StoreOnce 5500 System Capacity Upgrade Disk Pack
The HPE StoreOnce 5500 System (44 TB) Capacity Expansion kit is a pack of eleven 4 TB disks,
which are added to the original disk enclosure in the sequence described in this guide. A maximum of
five of these kits may be used with the first enclosure until all disk bays are full.
• BB933A: HPE StoreOnce 5500 System Capacity Upgrade Enclosure with Disks
Once all bays in the disk enclosure are full, it is possible to connect three further Capacity Upgrade
Kits to your HPE StoreOnce 5500 System. These are 60 TB disk enclosures. Care must be taken to
ensure the integrity of the SAS cabling when connecting additional enclosures.
Storage in each enclosure may also be expanded using up to five of the BB941A expansion kits.
For additional information, see the HPE StoreOnce 5500 System Capacity Upgrade Guide.
Pre-installed Capacity licenses
If capacity expansion has been ordered and pre-configured by the factory with the base system, the
license will already have been applied.
Note that Manufacturing will use a single license that covers all expansions. For example, a fully
populated HPE StoreOnce 5500 System with five Capacity Upgrade disk packs will display a 1 x 44 TB
license that covers 220 TB on the License Management page.
This facility to bundle multiple 44 TB Capacity Upgrade licenses is not available to the customer after
installation.

Series and HPE StoreOnce 5100 System
The HPE StoreOnce 3100 System has 4 x 2 TB disks and does not support capacity expansion.

3540 System (12 x 4 TB disks) and HPE StoreOnce 3520 System( 12 x 2 TB disks). The base
