DD890 adding disks to controller head

Hi All

We are a partner company and have managed to get hold of a DD890

There are no enclosures to the unit just the head with 4 x 1TB disks

I'm trying to get this configured up and working for testing but as there are no enclosures I cannot

create a filesystem

If I put some disks in the controller (3.5 SATA) will DD recognise this as an area where I can create a FS?

if not are there any alternatives to get this running?

thanks

    Get one ES30 shelf and fill it... or just swap DD890 for headless model as my understanding is you use it to see how it works in the first place.

    The DD890 is a dataless head. Storage expansion is not possible in the head. You will need to add at least one either ES20 or ES30 enclosure to configure a file system.
