NAS System Hardware Installation
This chapter provides a hardware setup checklist and instructions to help you get the SGI NAS
system hardware operational. If the NAS hardware is already installed in a rack and cabled
together as a system, continue on to
Chapter 3, “ISS3112-RP2 NAS Operation and GUI Startup,”
to start your system hardware and confirm your SGI NAS GUI operation settings.
Unpack the System Enclosures
Inspect the shipping containers that the NAS enclosure(s) were shipped in and note any damage
to the containers or enclosures. If an enclosure shows damage, file a damage claim with the carrier
who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack that supports the weight, power requirements, and
environmental requirements of the NAS enclosures. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free
environment that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise, and electromagnetic
fields are generated. Place the enclosure rack near a grounded power outlet. Refer to
“Warnings
and Precautions” on page 10 .
Inspecting a Shipment
It is important that you inspect all equipment received from a shipping carrier before signing for
the shipment. Be sure to do the following when you arrive at a site to install equipment and when
you receive equipment directly from a shipping carrier:
1. Inspect the shipment.
• Does the number of pieces received match the bill of lading?
• Have boxes been opened or is there damage to the packaging?
• Has the Tiltwatch indicator been triggered, indicating that the shipment was tipped?
