2.7

Console and Other Requirements

A console with at least one serial port or Ethernet connection is necessary for
installation and configuration of your Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Array. Once you have
configured your array with an IP address, the Ethernet port can also be useful for
configuring the array.

Refer to the following preinstallation worksheet for additional preparation details.

2.8

Preinstallation Worksheet

Before ordering a Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Array, complete the preinstallation
worksheet and then prepare the site for installation according to the site-planning
requirements.

Note –

If you are connecting to several hosts or Fabric switches, make as many

copies of

as you need and label them appropriately.

You are responsible for ensuring that the site consistently conforms to all stipulated
standards and that necessary peripherals are made available to the engineer during
installation.

Review the details of your specific survey before installing your Sun StorEdge 3510
FC Array.

If necessary, attach or sketch a network diagram to the survey.
