Static-free installation environment: The RAID subsystem must be installed in a static-free
environment to minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. (See
Section 3.3.2 Static-free Installation)
Component check: Before installing the RAID subsystem, you should first check to see
that you have received all the required components. (See Section 3.5 Unpacking the Sub-
system) If any items appear damaged, contact your vendor for a replacement.
Hard drives: Up to sixteen (16) SATA-I or SATA-II hard drives must be purchased sepa-
rately prior to the RAID subsystem installation.
Cabling: The RAID subsystem requires an external VHDCI to VHDCI SCSI round cable to
connect the subsystem to a host computer. Please see Section 5 Subsystem Connection
and Operation for sample topologies and configuration options.
Memory module: If you wish to change the pre-installed memory module, a separately
purchased module must be installed. (See Section 6.3 DIMM Module Replacement)
Rack installation: The enclosure chassis can be installed into rack cabinet using sepa-
rately purchased mounting rails, rear-attached brackets, or Bosch's slide rails. (See
Section 3.6 Rack/Cabinet Installation)
