If your configuration includes a BlackPearl NAS solution 44-bay expansion node, connect
an included SAS cable from any port on the four port SAS card in the BlackPearl NAS
solution master note, to the
Front Primary In
connector on the expansion node. Connect a
second cable from the master node to the
Rear Primary In
connector on the expansion
node.
Notes:
• When inserting cables into one of the four ports on the SAS card in the master
node, make sure the cable is fully seated by feeling for two clicks as you insert
the cable.
• The BlackPearl NAS solution 96-Bay and 107-Bay expansion node is installed by
Spectra Logic professional services and is connected to your BlackPearl NAS
solution master node during installation.
Automatically Import Activation Keys
Activation keys enable features on the BlackPearl NAS solution. They are tied to the serial
number of the system for which they are issued, and cannot be used on another system.
Renewals of expired activation keys are obtained by contacting Spectra Logic Technical
Support (see
Contacting Spectra Logic on page 9
).
The USB device in the BlackPearl NAS documentation kit contains the activation keys for the
options that you purchased.
Note:
If your BlackPearl NAS documentation kit does not contain a USB device, see
"Manually Enter Activation Keys" in the
Spectra BlackPearl NAS Solution User Guide
for instructions for manually entering the activation keys.
Insert the USB device into a USB port on the back of the system. See
