Installing the Storage Capacity License

Quantum DXi4700 Capacity Upgrade Guide

Installing the Storage Capacity License

Before the newly installed hardware capacity can be used to store data, you must add a license key to 
enable the new usable capacity of the system. The 6TB, 8TB, and 18TB licenses each need to be installed 
separately.

Locate the Storage Capacity License Certificate that was included with the upgrade components, and then 
complete the following procedure:

 1.  Open two Web browser windows on a computer with Internet access.

Note: 

During this procedure, you can copy and paste required numbers between these two 

windows.

 a.  In one browser, navigate to the 

Utilities > License Keys

 page in the DXi remote management 

console (see 

Figure 39 below

). Note that the system serial number displays directly above the 

New 

Key

 box.

For information about accessing the remote management console, see the 

DXi4700 User’s Guide

.

Figure 39: 

License Keys Page

 b.  In the other browser, enter the address for the 

License Key Management Web site

 (see 

Figure 

40 on the next page

):
