Cabling PowerVault MD1200 Series Expansion Enclosures

You can expand the capacity of your PowerVault MD3800i and MD3820i series storage array by adding
PowerVault MD1200 series expansion enclosures. You can expand the physical disk pool to a maximum
of 120 (or 192, if enabled using Premium Feature activation) physical disks using a maximum of seven
expansion enclosures.
Expanding With Previously Configured PowerVault MD1200 Series Expansion
Enclosures
Use this procedure if your expansion enclosure is directly attached and configured with a Dell PowerEdge
RAID Controller (PERC) H800 adapter. Data from virtual disks created on a PERC H800 adapter cannot be
directly migrated to a storage array or an expansion enclosure connected to a storage array.
