6. Installing the newly added drives 

We  recommend  you  to  install  the  drives  into  the  newly-added  expansion  enclosure  after  the  enclosure  is  successfully 

recognized  by  the  storage  system.  After  installing  the  drives  to  the  enclosure,  check  the  drives'  status  in  the  storage 

management GUI. Once the drives appeared on the GUI, you can already use them in storage provisioning. For more details, 

refer to the software manual. 

 

IMPORTANT! 

If  SANWatch  or  Embedded  RAIDWatch  is  used  as  a  management  tool  for  DS  family,  you  must  reload  the  mentioned 
management  tool  after  connecting  the  new  expansion  enclosure.  If  the  management  tool  does  not  display  the 
newly-added enclosures, click 

Data Reload

 from the upper-right corner of the GUI to refresh the screen.
