Overview

The MAX-HT04 Upgrade Kit (FG 2178-31) consists of four 400GB hard drives
(HDDs).
MAX HT-04 Home Theater Servers can be upgraded to 2.4TB capacity by
adding an Upgrade Kit of four 400GB hard disk drives (HDDs), increasing its
storage capacity by nearly double.
Further, two kits - eight 400GB HDDs can be added to upgrade to 3.6TB
capacity.
IMPORTANT - Because MAX servers utilize a RAID disk management system,
some storage space is consumed to accommodate the RAID system. The
following table indicates the storage space available:

Notes:
• The number of DVDs is based on an average of 4.8 GB per DVD.
• DVD capacity is based on typical commercial DVDs.
• DVD size is based on total DVD image, not the length of the movie.
The actual server capacity will vary depending on specific mix of DVDs and CDs in
the library,

Upgrading MAX-HT Servers

Step One: Add the New HDDs to the System

Before an HDD is physically installed in an HT server, it must first be added to
the system via the MAX Admin Menu (FIG. 2).
FIG. 2

There are two pieces of data that you must provide to complete the process of
adding the replacement HDD: The new HDD's Serial Number, and Key.
The 12-digit Serial Number is printed on a label placed on the top of the
HDD, located directly beneath the barcode (see FIG. 1).
The 16-digit Key is printed on a slip of paper included with the HDD.
Be sure to record the Serial Number before inserting the new drive into the
server.
Note: To access the MAX Admin Menu, you can either connect a VGA monitor
and PS/2-style keyboard directly to the server using the connectors on the rear
panel, or you can use the Server Configuration option in WinMAX (located in the
System Information tab) to establish a Telnet session with the server.
1.
In the Admin Menu, select Authenticate HDD (FIG. 3).

"WD-WXXXXXXXXXXX".
