Unpack the StorTrends® 3600i/3610i Dual Controller IP-SAN Storage
Appliance
You should inspect the box the StorTrends® 3600i/3610i Dual Controller IP-SAN
storage appliance was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server
itself shows damage, you should file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the StorTrends® 3600i/3610i
Dual Controller IP-SAN storage appliance. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area
that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields
are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack
and Server Precautions in the next section.

Choosing a Setup Location

Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door
completely (~25 inches).
Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for
sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
