Upgrades

Array modules and Expansion modules.
Expanding 2TB Base Systems
For capacity upgrades, Array and Expansion modules can be purchased
with 2TB or 3TB drives.

maximum capacity of 200TB. Adding a 3TB Array or Expansion
module to a 1TB base system is not supported.

is to add all 2TB Array modules first and then begin adding 2TB
Expansion modules.
