EonStor F16F-R/S4031 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual
CAUTION!
To ensure that your system is correctly installed, please follow the steps
outlined below. If you follow these steps, installation will be fast and
efficient. If you do not follow these steps, you may accidentally install the
hardware incorrectly.
1.
Unpack:
Unpack the subsystem and confirm that all the components on
the list have been included. (See
Section 2.3
)
2.
Rack/Cabinet installation:
If the subsystem is going to be installed in
a rack or cabinet, it should be installed prior to installing the hard
drives. Installing the subsystem into a rack or cabinet requires at least
two (2) people. (See
Section 0
)
3.
Install hard drives:
Separately purchased Fibre hard drives must be
individually installed into the drive trays. (See
Section 2.7
)
4.
Install drive trays:
After the hard drives have been installed into the
drive trays, the drive trays must be installed into the enclosure itself.
(See
Section 2.8
)
5.
Cable connection:
Use the power cables that came with the subsystem
to connect the subsystem to the main power source. Use the provided
Fibre cable to connect a host port to the host computer or an external
device.
CAUTION!
Fiber optical cables for connecting Fibre Channel devices must be handled
with care. They must not be bent and the routing path must be carefully
planned to prevent emission interference within a rack system.
6.
Power up:
Once the components have been properly installed and all
cables are properly connected, you can power up the subsystem and
configure the RAID array. (See
Section 4.6
)
