Introduction 1 This document provides information about currently supported hardware and software versions for the Dell DR Series system. The DR Series system software release 3.2.6 is supported on the following new DR Series system models: DR4300e, DR4300 and DR6300. The DR Series system software release 3.2.0 continues to support the Dell DR Series system models: DR4000, DR4100, DR6000, and DR2000v.
NOTE: TB and GB represent terabytes and gigabytes in decimal values, and TiB represents tebibytes in binary values. Tebibytes are a standards-based binary multiple of the byte, a unit of digital information storage. Table 1.
External Drive Capacity The capacity values listed in the following tables represent the additional storage capacity in the external drives available when you add the supported expansion shelf enclosures to a DR Series system appliance. Additional data storage can be added using the expansion shelf enclosures in the following capacities. For more information on the expansion shelf enclosures, see the topic “Expansion Unit Limits” in this document. Table 3.
