This disk expansion kit consists of two 4 TB WD enterprise-class hard drives (enclosed), two 4 GB ECC
SODIMM memory modules for memory expansion (enclosed) and a Disk Storage Expansion license key
(sent via email). This license key must be declared (from within the WD Arkeia web user interface) in
order to use the additional disk capacity on your appliance. The system memory must be expanded
using the included SODIMM memory modules in order to ensure the optimal performance of backup
and deduplication with the additional disk storage.

The following sections provide step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process.

Obtaining the Disk Storage Expansion License Key

This package contains just the hard drives and the SODIMM memory modules. You should have
received the license key at the email address you provided at the time of purchase.

If you have not yet received the license key or have questions regarding the expansion kit, please
contact the WD Arkeia support team by submitting a support ticket at the URL below. We ask you to
submit a support ticket, rather than call or email, because a support ticket is the fastest mechanism to
route your inquiry and return a response—while ensuring that no request is overlooked as support shifts
change.
