enclosure to an existing storage array, look at the profile for your storage array. The
profile shows information about the number of drives that are supported by your
storage array, such as the following:
•
The number of drives that are currently attached to the host
•
The number of drives that you are allowed to add to the host
Make sure that your storage array supports adding more drives.
ATTENTION
Possible hardware damage – To prevent electrostatic discharge
damage to the storage enclosure, use proper antistatic protection
when handling the components.
Key Terms

also serves as the connection point to transfer data between the storage enclosure and
