You can add a disk enclosure to the EVA6400/8400 while the array is online. You can only add one disk enclosure online at a time. These instructions do not include adding an expansion rack. For expansion rack information, see the HP 6400/8400 Enterprise Virtual Array Expansion Rack Reference Guide. If you print this document, HP recommends that you print it in color, if possible. If color printing is not available, print it in grayscale. Before you begin Follow these warnings and cautions before installing the disk enclosure. WARNING!

Failure to extend the anti-tip device could cause personal injury or damage if the rack tips over. CAUTION: • Make sure that the rack and all equipment mounted in the rack have a reliable ground connection. Verify that the total current of the rack components does not exceed the current rating of the power distribution unit or the power distribution modules. • Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
