Use the Storage Manager host software to verify the configuration.
13. Review and perform the procedures in “Performing the health check process” on page 4-1.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage the storage subsystem and other electronic devices. To avoid
damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install
them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
v
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v
Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
v
While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the
system unit for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.
v
Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit without setting it
down. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not
place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal surface.
v
Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity
and increases static electricity.
Preparing for installation
Before you install the DS3500 storage subsystem, create a detailed plan of how the device will be used in
your storage configuration. The plan should include determining RAID levels, failover requirements,
operating systems that are to be used, and total storage capacity requirements.
To prepare the DS3500 storage subsystem for installation in a rack, complete the following steps:
1. Prepare the site to meet all area, environmental, power, and site requirements. For more information,
see “Specifications” on page 1-15.
2. Move the shipping box that contains the DS3500 to the site.
