1 You cannot attach additional QXS chassis to supported QXS 24-drive metadata-only RAID chassis. QXS storage expansion requires one or more additional data-only RAID chassis in addition to the metadata-only chassis. Additional storage can be added to the system after initial system configuration, but requires Quantum Professional Services or Quantum Service Partner installation. 2 QXS-324 chassis support 900 GB drive sizes. QXS-424 chassis support 400, 600, 800, and 900 GB drive sizes. |

1 Expansion is not supported when attached to a supported QXS 24-drive metadata-only RAID chassis. Storage expansion requires one or more additional data-only RAID chassis, which can be attached to additional expansion chassis, as shown in the last column of the table. Expansion is supported after initial system configuration, but requires Quantum Professional Services or Quantum Service Partner installation. 2 You can add RAID and expansion chassis to the system after initial system configuration, but those upgrades require Quantum Professional Services or Quantum Service Partner installation. |
