The DR Series system hardware consists of a total of 14 drives. Two of these drives are 2.5-inch drives that are configured as a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) 1 on the RAID Controller, and this is considered to be volume 1. On the DR4000 system, these drives are internal; while in the DR4100, DR6000, DR4300e core and standard, DR4300, and DR6300 systems, these drives are accessible from the rear of the appliance. The data that is being backed up is stored on the 12 virtual disks that reside on the DR Series system. The DR Series system also supports additional storage in the form of external expansion shelf enclosures (see the DR Series Expansion Shelf section in this topic). The hot-swappable data drives that are attached to the RAID controller are configured as:

The process for adding an expansion shelf requires the following:
If you install multiple enclosures and cable them as described here, make sure to set the enclosure mode switch on the MD1200 front chassis to the top (unified mode) position. For more information, see the Dell PowerVault MD1200 and MD1220 Storage Enclosures Hardware Owner's Manual or the Dell Storage MD1400 Enclosures Hardware Owner’s Manual at dell.com/support/manuals.
