Installation Procedures Overview
Following all the instructions provided below can minimize system installation time.
Detailed, illustrated instructions for each component are given in the following
sections.
1. Unpack:
Unpack the system and confirm all components have been received
against the Unpacking List.
2. Rack/Cabinet installation (optional for 3008 model):
If the system is going to
be installed in a rack or cabinet, it should be installed prior to installing the hard
drives. Installing the system into a rack or cabinet requires at least two people
due to its weight. If you need to install the slide rails that came with the system,
3. Install CBM (if necessary, 3012 & 3016 models only)
: Install the CBM (super
capacitor + flash backup module) onto the controller if you purchased it as an
additional item.
4. Install hard drives:
Separately purchased SATA hard drives must be individually
installed into the drive trays.
5. Install drive trays:
After the hard drives have been installed into the drive trays,
you can install the drive trays into the enclosure (install trays
AFTER
the
enclosure has been mounted onto the rack).
6. Cable connection:
Use the supplied power cords to connect the system to main
power. It is recommended to connect power cords to separate and independent
power sources (different circuit breakers for redundancy).
7. Power up:
Once the components have been properly installed and all cables are
properly connected, you can power up the system and configure it.
