General installation information
Make sure you read the following general installation topics before you begin moving
and unpacking the SAN256N director equipment as described in “Installation” on
page 25. These topics contain important information.
Supplemental information for installation
Important supplemental up-to-date information that must be read during the installation
process is provided in the:
• Read me.txt files, contained on the Software CD, for the latest Software release
information.
• Release Notes.pdf files, Release_notes.txt files, or Release_notes.doc files on the
Software CD, for the latest Firmware release information.
• Field Service Technical Support Technical Bulletins, Technical Alerts, or
Technical Memos, available on the IN-Site Web Site and from the Technical Support
Organization.
Site survey check list
The Site Survey Check List, completed during the site planning and preparation
process, summarizes SAN256N director installation tasks and responsibilities. This
check list must be reviewed prior to performing any installation procedures. Obtain a
copy of the completed Site Survey Check List from the appropriate Sales, Systems
Engineer, or Field Service personnel who were involved in the sale and site planning for
this installation.
Most of the information on the Site Survey Check List is obtained during the Pre-
installation Planning Activities and Site Survey walk through prior to shipment of the
equipment. Use this check list to learn about the site, and to gather information you need
to ensure a successful installation. If information is missing, or if some of the planning/
preparation activities are not complete, it may be necessary to gather the information
and complete the activities before starting the installation.
Verify that the Check column is marked to indicate that the activity or task as being
completed and the date has been noted when the activity or task is completed. The
order of tasks and the number of steps required on site may differ from the order and
number suggested by the check list.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions
Static electricity can be very damaging to certain types of equipment in the work place.
Static has been responsible for causing computer equipment to become inoperable, and
in some cases even destroyed.
To help understand Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and ESD Sensitive (ESDS) devices,
the following definitions are provided:
• ESD - a sudden transfer of a charge between two objects.
• ESDS - term used to describe devices that are damaged from electrostatic discharge.
• Charge - an excess or deficiency of electrons on the surface of material.
There are two methods by which static will reach sensitive devices:
