2.1 Installation
Prerequisites
1.
Static-free installation environment:
The subsystem must be installed
in a static-free environment to minimize the possibility of electrostatic
discharge (ESD) damage. (See
Section 2.1
) Use of anti-static wristband
and static-control devices such as ionizers, is recommended.
2.
Component check:
Before installing the subsystem, you should first
check to see that you have received all the required components. (See
Section 2.3
) If any items appear damaged, contact your vendor for a
replacement.
3.
Hard drives:
Up to sixteen (16) Fibre Channel interface hard drives
(4Gb/s or 2Gb/s interface) must be purchased separately and available
prior to installing the subsystem. (See
Section 2.7
)
