for DS4243, DS2246, DS4486, and DS4246
. The AltaVault AVA10S shelf is identical
to the DS4246 disk shelf.
You can add a new AVA10S shelf to a configured and running AVA400 or AVA800 appliance. The maximum number
of supported shelves is three for the AVA400 and four for the AVA800 models.
Installing additional preconfigured disk drives on a shelf
The AltaVault appliance can accept additional packs of disks into added AVA10S shelves of the appliance. The
following steps apply when installing a newly preconfigured 12-pack of disk drives into the shelf. If you are installing
two sets of 12-pack disk drives, install the entire 12-pack disk drives in either in the top half of the rack, which are slots
0 - 11, or the bottom half of the rack, which are slots 12-23. Do not mix up the disks of a disk pack between the top
and bottom halves of the rack as they are preconfigured as a group.
