Overview

This appendix applies to an operating appliance that has one or two compute nodes and a Primary Storage Shelf.

It is possible to already have one or more Expansion Storage Shelves, up to three units. The hardware must be turned off before you add any storage shelves.

The cable scheme for NetBackup and Flex appliances is the same.
