Chapter 2
Hardware Installation
2.1 Introduction
This chapter gives detailed instructions on how to install hard drives
and drive trays into the subsystem. Installation into a rack or cabinet
should occur before the hard drives or drive trays are installed into
the subsystem. Please confirm that you received all of the
components listed on a printed copy of
Unpacking List
that came
with the subsystem before proceeding with the installation process.
CAUTION!
Carefully follow the installation instructions described in this manual
to prevent any difficulties and damages to your subsystem.
2.2 Installation
Prerequisites
1.
Static-free installation environment:
The enclosure must be
installed in a static-free environment to minimize the possibility of
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. (See
Section 2.3
)
2.
Component check:
Before installing the enclosure, check to see
that you have received all the required components. (See
Section 2.5
) If any items appear damaged, contact your vendor
for a replacement.
3.
Hard drives:
Up to twelve (12) SAS/SATA-II (3Gbps) hard drives
must be purchased separately and hard drives should be
available prior to installing the enclosure.
4. The drives included in the same logical configuration should
have the same capacity, but it is preferred that all disk drives
within the subsystem have the same capacity.
