Adding Storage

Storage shelves can be added to the DSA-N2B20 and the DSA-N2B50 system.
Each expansion unit comes with 14 disks, 750 GB each.
Shelves are daisy-chained in a so-called loop. The first shelf added to a storage system is
directly connected to the storage system. Each following shelf is connected to the last shelf in
the existing loop, with a maximum of six shelves in one loop for the DSA-N2B50 and a
maximum of four shelves for the DSA-N2B20.

to shelf number one) has ID #2 and so on.

Physically install and secure the shelf onto support brackets and rack.
