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>).
