This document will step you through an easy and quick way to get your Galaxy RAID installed and ready
for operation. Other documents in the CD document library can help with setup, configuration, and
troubleshooting.
Note: Your Galaxy RAID has been preconfigured to your specific requested RAID configuration ie RAID
5 with hot spare; RAID 6 with cold spare, IP address , etc, and should be ready to use in your system
environment right out of the box.
We have made this guide to adhere to most of the products we sell. Various text and images are
different based on your particular product, based on the host interface and controller connections.
Apply the settings for your product based on Fibre Channel, SAS, or iSCSI notes in each step.
Step 1. Unpack: Unpack the subsystem and confirm that all the RAID, Disk Drives, Cables, Rack Mount
kit and accessories have been included.
Step 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.
Step 3. Install hard drives: Your purchased SAS / SATA-II/SATA-I hard drives have been pre-installed into
the drive trays. You will install them into the empty RAID chassis.
Step 4. Cable connection: Use the power cords that came with the subsystem to connect the subsystem
to the main power source. Use RJ-45 cables [not included] to connect host ports to the network.
Connect any host cables to switches, servers, workstations.
Step 5. 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.
Step 6. Bezel Installation: Use the hardware provided to put the chassis bezel in place
Step 7. RAID Management settings: Use the setup procedures to change your RAID settings.
