Management host requirements
A local management host with at least one USB Type B port connection is recommended for the initial installation and
configuration of a controller enclosure. After you configure one or both of the controller modules with an Internet
Protocol (IP) address, you then use a remote management host on an Ethernet network to configure, manage, and
monitor.
NOTE Connections to this device must be made with shielded cables–grounded at both ends–with metallic RFI/EMI
connector hoods, in order to maintain compliance with FCC Rules and Regulations.
Physical requirements
The floor space at the installation site must be strong enough to support the combined weight of the rack, controller
enclosures, drive enclosures (expansion), a full complement of disk drives, and any additional equipment. The site also
requires sufficient space for installation, operation, and servicing of the enclosures, together with sufficient ventilation to
allow a free flow of air to all enclosures.
The tables below provide enclosure dimensions and weights. Weights are based on an enclosure having a full
complement of disk drives, two controller or expansion modules, and two power and cooling modules installed.
