To add a validated license for a data storage expansion shelf (enclosure), use the following DR Series system CLI

shelf enclosure.
• 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 command (for specific information, see system --add_storage --
enclosure <service tag>).
