Installing your storage system
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G/F350 and G/F370 storage systems are designed for
self-installation, so you can set up your storage system for the first time without
assistance from a Hitachi Vantara representative.
Step 1: Unpack the storage system
Before you begin
Make sure your data center meets all
requirements before you install
the storage system. In addition, if you are not using a Hitachi Universal V2 rack, make
sure the electrical specifications of your rack meet the power requirements of the
storage system.
Procedure
1. Inspect all materials for signs of damage. If you see damage, discontinue the
installation and contact your Hitachi Vantara representative.
2. If your storage system did not arrive factory-installed in a rack, loosen the band
around the cartons and open all boxes. Remove all packing materials, envelopes,
and boxes from the cartons.
3. Retain all packing materials and cartons in case you need to transport or ship the
storage system in the future.
4. Check the items you received against the packing list. If any items are missing or
damaged, discontinue the installation and contact your Hitachi Vantara
representative.
5. Place the keys for the front bezel in a safe place. You will need them to attach the
bezel to the front of the controllers.
6. If your storage system arrived already factory-installed in a rack, skip step 2 and
proceed to
Step 2: Install the storage system into a rack
Mount the controller into the Hitachi Universal V2 rack or into a 4-post EIA 310-D
compliant 19-inch rack with square mounting holes and rear-facing power distribution
units (PDUs).
