Convert 2100 SE Appliance to 2100 PE Appliance

Important

To use PE functionality, the 2100 appliance needs to have SD-WAN release 9.3 or higher software version. The SD-WAN release 9.3 and higher software release versions support 2100 PE.

2100 SE ships with only one SSD (240 GB) and one blank carrier.
If you want to upgrade to a PE appliance, you can order the kit. The kit includes an extra SSD (480 GB) and appropriate license for PE.
Upon receiving the kit, install the new 480 GB drive in the empty slot (leaving original SSD as is). Upgrade to SD-WAN release 10.0, and apply new PE license.
