3 lines and 8 extensions is max capacity

I disagree with you CartoonX, the 308 is 3 outside lines and 8 max extensions.
a 616 and a 624 are totally different.
He needs to update the guys system to an 8x24 that comes 4x8 base package.
the numbers showed max configuration with the first number in a 3 digit cabinet as the max number of out lines. In a four digit number, the first 2 show max out and max extensions. In the case of a hybrid kxTD 1232 its max 12 out, 32 digital and 32 analog. base cabinet is 8x16x16. An kxtd 816 is max 8 out and 16 max ext digital and 16 analog. The KXTA 1232 will provide 12 out and 32 analog and is a 8x16 base.
Now kashi if you could describe your cabinet a bit more. Is it white with modular jacks on the top with card slots that are accessed through the top? In that case, there is a card to max the system to a 6x16 then a different card that just give another 8 extensions. In this case, cartoon is correct, but the system is billed only as a 624, base 3x8.

Hey Cartoon X
Why do you think systems have model numbers, just for crack?
If you are going to give advise to people please stop giving 'FAKE NEWS' its really unhelpful.

I'm not giving 'FAKE NEWS'. 
"realfoneguy" is superficial, in this case.
You mentioned KX-TA30874 card, which intendent for European and Worldwide models. If Your system has a serial RS-232 port, and You are from market which use 220V AC power network, it can increase capacity.
KX-TA624 (USA, UK) use KX-TA62470 and the KX-TA62477 Expansion Cards.
KX-TA308 Australia, Europa etc. (with serial port) 220V AC power is older model (generation) and it's upgradeable with KX-TA30874 and KX-TA30877 cards.
KX-TA308 USA (with serial port an built-in CID card) 110V AC power, has different oriented text on case, and it is not upgradeable.
System KX-TA308 with serial port is also labeled as KX-TA616 and KX-TA624 in most countries.
This label is for previously prepared (selling) configuration/capacity, because you can reduce capacity of KX-TA624 to 3/8 or increase KX-TA616 to KX-TA624 capacity.
So, in Europa, KX-TA308 is same phone system as KX-TA624 in UK and USA and can be upgradable to 6/24. Every system from same older generation KX-TA624, KX-TA616, and KX-TA308 has a serial RS-232 port, so You can easy recognize generation, and for markets other than USA (110 V AC), always upgradeable.
Next, newer generation very similiar by outside look, use USB port, and different labels in areas of sale, KX-TEA308 and KX-TA824 (intended for USA market) is almost same systems as KX-TEA308. KX-TEB308, and KX-TES/TEM 824 in other countries.
KX-TA824 (using KX-TA82470, KX-TA82471, KX-TA82474 Expansion Cards) system labeled in USA is KX-TES/TEM 824 in other countries.
Conclusion;
If you have any KX-TA308, 220V AC with serial programming port, You can increase capacity to max 6 lines, 24 extensions, with two types of expansions card. If You have KX-TA308 USA, You can't upgrade.
