General Installation Procedure
Following all instructions provided below can minimize subsystem
installation time. Detailed, illustrated instructions for each component
are given in the following sections.
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 enclosure and confirm that all components
on the list were included. (See
Section 2.5
)
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 2.6
)
3.
Install hard drives:
Separately purchased SAS or SATA-II hard
drives must be individually installed into the drive trays.
4.
Install drive trays:
After the hard drives have been installed into
the drive trays, the drive trays can be installed into the enclosure
itself. (See
Section 2.8
)
5.
Cable connection:
Use the supplied power cords to connect the
subsystem to main power. It is recommended to connect power
cords to separate and independent power sources for higher
redundancy; e.g., a UPS device. Make sure your subsystem is
electrically grounded.
CAUTION!
Cables for connecting SAS devices must be handled with care. The
routing paths 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 4.1
)
