v
If you are using in-band management, cable the DS3500 hosts to the host
bus adapters (HBAs) in the hosts. See “Connecting iSCSI hosts to the
DS3500” on page 59.
9. Connect the power cables. See “Cabling the DS3500 and EXP3500 power
supplies” on page 65.
10. Power-on the expansion enclosure and the DS3500 storage subsystem, using
the procedure in “Turning on the storage subsystem” on page 68.
11. Install the DS Storage Manager host software on the management workstation
(for out-of-band management) or on the host (for in-band management). See
the
DS Storage Manager 10 Installation and Host Support Guide for the
management-workstation or host operating system for installation instructions
for installing the DS Storage Manager host software.
12. Use the DS Storage Manager host software to verify the configuration.
13. Review and perform the procedures in “Performing the health check process”
on page 67.
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 12.
2. Move the shipping box that contains the DS3500 to the site.
