also describes the procedure to recharge the controller write-back cache battery and making the CLI interface
connection between the subsystem and the host adapter.
1.1
Introduction
The installation of your RAID Array 310 subsystem is accomplished by performing six
major steps as follows:
•
Unpacking and setting up the mechanical configuration (Chapter 1)
•
Connecting ac power and recharging the controller write-back cache battery (Chapter 1)
•
Making the serial interface connection between the RAID Array 310 and the host system
(Chapter 1)
•
Installing the SCSI host adapter and making the SCSI connection to the host (Chapter 2)
•
Installing the SCSI software driver (Chapter 3)
•
Configuring your RAID 310 disk array subsystem (Chapter 3)

Site Preparation
Before installing the subsystem, make sure that adequate space is available in front of the
enclosure for opening the front door (10 inches clearance) and around the enclosure for ade-
quate airflow. See Figure 1–1 for specific space requirements.
