Preparing

 

for

 

installation

 

Before

 

installing

 

the

 

DS4800

 

Storage

 

Subsystem,

 

create

 

a

 

detailed

 

plan

 

of

 

how

 

this

 

unit

 

will

 

be

 

used

 

in

 

your

 

storage

 

configuration.

 

The

 

plan

 

should

 

include

 

determining

 

RAID

 

levels,

 

failover

 

requirements,

 

operating

 

systems

 

to

 

be

 

used,

 

and

 

total

 

storage

 

capacity

 

requirements.

 

Complete

 

the

 

following

 

steps

 

to

 

prepare

 

the

 

DS4800

 

for

 

installation

 

into

 

a

 

rack

 

cabinet.

 

1.

   

Prepare

 

the

 

site

 

to

 

meet

 

all

 

area,

 

environmental,

 

power,

 

and

 

site

 

requirements.

 

For

 

more

 

information,
