3 Hardware Installation
This chapter gives detailed instructions on how to install the subsystem. When installing the
subsystem, it is necessary to mount the chassis into a rack or cabinet and to install hard
drives and drive trays. Installation into a rack or cabinet should occur before the hard drives or
drive trays are installed into the subsystem. Please confirm that you received all of the compo-
nents listed on the Unpacking List that came with the subsystem before proceeding with the
installation process.
3.1 Installation Prerequisites
• Static free installation environment: The subsystems must be installed in a static-free
environment to minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. (See
Section 1 Warnings and Certifications).
• Component check: Before installing the subsystems, you should first check to see that
you have received all the required components. If any items appear damaged, contact
your vendor for a replacement.
• Hard drives: Hard drives must be purchased separately prior to the subsystem installa-
tion.
• Cabling:
– The subsystems requires an external VHDCI-to-VHDCI SCSI round cable to connect
the subsystem to a host computer.
– One (1) audio-jack-to-DB9 cable is provided to facilitate the connection of the COM1
port for local terminal emulation access to the array.
– Two (2) power cords are provided for the power connections to the power sources.
– The RJ-45 Ethernet cable for network management connection is a user-supplied
item.
• Memory module: If you wish to change the pre-installed memory module, a separately
purchased module must be installed. Please contact your vendor for a different memory
module or consult the list of compatible modules.
• Rack installation: The enclosure chassis can be installed into a rack cabinet using self-
purchased mounting rails. A printed copy of installation guide is provided with the slide
rails package.
CAUTION!
Please note that the installation instructions described in this chapter should be carefully fol-
lowed to prevent any difficulties and damages to your system.
