Install an NVMe expansion enclosure
Take the following actions to install an NVMe expansion enclosure into the system during the initial system installation or to install the first NVMe expansion enclosure into a running system.
NOTE:During the initial system installation, do not power on the system until you have finished cabling all of the
expansion enclosures.
CAUTION:On a running cluster, if you are adding an expansion enclosure after installing the first expansion enclosure during initial system installation, you must power on the new expansion enclosure before attaching the back-end cables. Review
