It is possible to already have one or more Expansion Storage Shelves, up to three
units. The cable scheme for NetBackup and Flex appliances is the same. The
hardware must be turned off before you add any storage shelves.
Turning off the existing hardware
You must turn off the existing system before you turn on any new Expansion shelves.
