Cabling:
All the cables that connect the system to the hosts must be purchased
separately. Please refer to System Connection for sample topologies and configuration
options. Contact your vendor for the list of compatible cables.
Memory modules:
If you wish to change the pre-installed DIMM module, you can find
DIMM replacement procedures in Replacing Memory Module(s).
Rack installation:
The rack slide rails are optional accessories and should you need to
install it, please refer to the Slide Rail Installation Guide section.
Make sure you are aware of the related positions of each plug-in module and interface
connector.
Cables must be handled with care and must not be bent. To prevent emission interference
within a rack system and accidental cable disconnection, the routing paths must be
carefully planned.
Installation Procedures Overview
Following all the instructions provided below can minimize system installation time. Detailed,
illustrated instructions for each component are given in the following sections.
1.
Unpack:
Unpack the system and confirm all components have been received
against the Unpacking List.
2.
Rack/Cabinet installation:
If the system is going to be installed in a rack or
cabinet, it should be installed prior to installing the hard drives. Installing the
system into a rack or cabinet requires at least two people due to its weight.
3.

Install drives:
Separately purchased SAS/SATA hard drives must be individually
installed into the drive trays.

Install drive trays:
After the drives have been installed into the drive trays, you can
install the drive trays into the enclosure (install trays
AFTER
the enclosure has been
mounted onto the rack).
6.
Cable connection:
Use the supplied power cords to connect the system to main
power. It is recommended to connect power cords to separate and independent
power sources (different circuit breakers for redundancy).

properly connected, you can power up the system and configure the Unified
Storage System.
