Chapter 1. Before you begin the installation
Before you can begin installing your system, you must unpack and verify your order and make other
preparations.
The Quick Installation Guide contains a set of instructions to help you unpack and install your system. The
guide is divided into chapters and appendixes.
1. The steps in Chapter 1, “Before you begin the installation,” on page 1 (the chapter you are now
reading) involve verifying your order, becoming familiar with the hardware component terminology,
and ensuring that you have met the environmental requirements.
2. The steps in Chapter 2, “Installing the system hardware,” on page 11 involve installing the hardware
and attaching the data cables and power cords.
3. Chapter 3, “Configuring the system,” on page 81 helps you create your configuration file and access
the management GUI. The management GUI guides you through the initial configuration process.
4. Chapter 4, “Adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system,” on page 87 describes how to add
an expansion enclosure to an existing system by using the management GUI to update the system
configuration.
5. Chapter 5, “Adding a control enclosure to an existing system ,” on page 89 describes how to add a
control enclosure to an existing system, beginning with installing the control enclosure in the rack and
then connecting it to the system through a zone in the SAN.
6. Appendix A, “Accessibility features for the system,” on page 91 is an appendix that describes IBM's
commitment to accessibility for all customers.
7. Appendix B, “Where to find the Statement of Limited Warranty,” on page 93 is an appendix that
describes where to find Warranty information.
8. Appendix C, “Control enclosure requirements,” on page 95 is an appendix that describes the
environmental requirements that you must meet to install and operate a 2077/2078-AF4/424/U5B
control enclosure.
9. Appendix D, “SAS expansion enclosure requirements,” on page 101 is an appendix that describes the
environmental requirements that you must meet to install and operate a 2U 2077/2078-12F or
2077/2078-24F expansion enclosure, or a 5U 2077/2078-92F/A9F expansion enclosure. The
examples that are shown for a 2U enclosure are for the 2077-24F / 2078-24F .
Important information:
• This guide presumes that you have read the planning information regarding your physical environment
that is available in the IBM Knowledge Center.
• Ensure that any cables that you are supplying are available for installation.
Installation scenarios
Depending on your order, this documentation steps you through setting up your system for the following
scenarios:
• Setting up a new system that consists of a control enclosure only. In this case, you are not installing
any expansion enclosures.
• Setting up a new system that consists of a control enclosure and one or more expansion
enclosures.
• Adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system. In this case, you initially installed a control
enclosure (and, optionally, one or more expansion enclosures). You want to add an expansion enclosure
to your existing system. You do not need to power off the system. You can add an expansion enclosure
while the system is operational.
