¹ 1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes
² Usable storage capacity for installed Array or Expansion modules can be upgraded at any time after purchase in
increments of 6TB, 8TB, and 18TB. Storage capacity upgrades are enabled simply by adding a license key. To
purchase a storage capacity upgrade license, contact your Quantum sales representative. After you obtain the
storage capacity license, refer to the section “Adding a License Key” in the
DXi4700 User’s Guide
for instructions on
completing the capacity upgrade.
³ Usable space is presented as a decimal (1000) value (TB or Terrabyte) in the DXi GUI. Backup applications may report
the binary (1024) value (TiB or Tebibye) but incorrectly label it as "TB". For example, 272 TB will be seen in the DXi
GUI; however a backup application may report 247.38 TB. 247.38 "tebibyte (TiB) = 271.99718647923 "terabyte (TB)"
