In the previous steps, you installed the enclosures in the rack, connected all cables, powered the system
on, and checked the LED status for the system. When you have completed all these steps, continue with
the last step to configure the system.
The last step for configuring your system provides instructions for two scenarios. Follow the first set of
instructions when you are setting up your system for the first time. Follow the second set of instructions
when you have an existing system and are now adding one or more expansion enclosures to the existing
system.
