To access the DR Series system command line interface (CLI), the following terminal emulation applications can be
used:
FoxTerm
Win32 console
PuTTY
Tera Term Pro
: The listed terminal emulation applications are not the only ones that works with the DR Series system. This list
is only intended to provide examples of terminal emulation applications that can be used.
DR Series Expansion Shelf Cabling
Each DR Series system appliance is capable of supporting additional storage capacity and install and connect up to two
Dell PowerVault MD1200 data storage expansion shelf enclosures. Each of the expansion shelf enclosures contains 12
physical disks that provide additional data storage capacity for a basic DR Series system. The supported data storage
expansion shelves can be added in 1 Terabyte (TB), 2TB, or 3TB hard drive capacities. figure 1and Figure 2display the
recommended method for cabling between the DR4000/DR4100 PERC controller card to the appropriate connectors on
the rear of the Dell PowerVault MD1200 expansion shelf enclosure.
: The 300 Gigabyte (GB) drive capacity (2.7 TB) version of the DR Series system does not support the addition of
expansion shelf enclosures.
Make sure that the Dell PowerVault MD1200 front panel selector switch is set to its Unified mode (with the switch set to
its up position, indicated by a single Volume icon). figure 1 shows the SAS In ports on the Enclosure Management
Module (EMM) on the rear of the Dell MD1200. Figure 2 shows the recommended redundant path cabling configuration,
which includes cable connections from both PERC H800 connectors on the DR4000 system (or the PERC H810 on a
DR4100 system) to the two SAS In ports on the EMM rear chassis of the Dell PowerVault MD1200.
If you plan on installing the second of the two supported expansion shelf enclosures in Release 2.0, then the two SAS In
ports on the rear chassis of the EMM on the second enclosure are daisy-chained to the two SAS Out ports on the EMM
