1 Capacity Upgrade

Introduction

The Capacity Upgrade Kit increases the storage capacity of your HP D2D Backup System. Three
Capacity Upgrade Kits are available. Be sure to order the correct kit for your system:

• HP D2D4324 Backup System Capacity Upgrade Kit: This consists of an enclosure with 12 x 2

TB disks and two cables, and is for use with the HP D2D4324 Backup System. The second
cable is a longer cable that is suitable for connecting to an HP D2D4324 that already has
upgrade kits installed.

• HP D2D4112/D2D4312 Backup System Capacity Upgrade Kit: This consists of an enclosure

with 12 x 1 TB disks and two cables, and is for use with both the HP D2D4112 and the HP
D2D4312 Backup System. The second cable is a longer cable that is suitable for connecting
to an HP D2D4312 that already has upgrade kits installed.

• HP D2D4106 Backup System Capacity Upgrade Kit: This kit consists of an enclosure with 12

x 500 GB disks and one cable, and is for use with the HP D2D4106 Backup System only.

NOTE: A maximum of three Capacity Upgrade Kits may be installed with the HP D2D4300

Series (HP D2D4312 and HP D2D4324 Backup System); only one Capacity Upgrade Kit may be
installed with the HP D2D4100 Series (HP D2D4106 and HP D2D4112 Backup System).

The Capacity Upgrade Kit is installed on rails as a separate shelf immediately above or below the
HP D2D Backup System. Shelf is used as a term within the D2D Web Management Interface to
identify the 12–disk physical storage space provided by the HP D2D Backup System (Shelf 0 or
Internal) and the Capacity Upgrade Kit (Shelf 1 with the HP D2D4100 Series or Shelves 1/2/3
with the HP D2D4300 Series). This is also displayed pictorially on the Summary page of the Web
Management Interface.

The following example shows the Summary screen for an HP D2D4112 Backup System that has
a single shelf with 12 disks.
