and have not come loose in transit.
If the Hard Disks are shipped separately, you have to install the drives in the order as
printed on the top of the chassis. The drives will also have printed labels showing the slot
numbers of the hard drives.

All hard disk drives can be accessed from the front of your StorTrends Dual Controller IP-SAN storage
appliance. Verify that the hard disk drive trays are inserted all the way into its bay.
2
Verify that all cables in your rack are not obstructing the airflow of your StorTrends Dual Controller IP-
SAN storage appliance.

Connect network cables from both NIC-1 and NIC-2 on both the Left Controller and the Right Controller
of your StorTrends Dual Controller IP-SAN storage appliance to your network.
NOTE:
CAT6 network cables gives better performance than CAT5e network cables.
NOTE:
For best practices, connect through two (2) switches to avoid a single point of failure on your
network.
NOTE:
Your StorTrends Dual Controller IP-SAN storage appliance requires a minimum of one network
connection per controller.

Plug the two power cords from the power supply units into a high-quality power strip that offers protection
from electrical noise and power surges. It is highly recommended that you use a dedicated Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS). Please refer Step 5, for connecting instruction of Automatic UPS Switching M odule
(AUSM ) with UPS.
NOTE:
As soon as you plug in one power cord, your StorTrends Dual Controller IP-SAN storage
appliance will begin to power up the IPM I in both the Left Controller and the Right Controller. This is
normal.
