Preparation

˙
Make sure you are aware of the related positions of each plug-in
module and interface connector.
˙
Cables must be handled with care and must not be bent. To
prevent emission interference within a rack system and
accidental cable disconnection, the routing path must be
carefully planned.

General Installation Procedure

Following all instructions provided below can ensure correct
installation and minimize the installation time. Detailed, illustrated
instructions for each component are given in the following sections.
1. Unpack: Unpack the enclosure and confirm that all
components on the list were included. (See Section 2.5)
2. Rack/Cabinet installation: If the subsystem is going to be
installed in a rack or cabinet, that should be done before the
subsystem is installed with the hard drives. Installing the
subsystem into a rack or cabinet requires at least two (2)
people. (See Section 2.6)
3. Install hard drives: Separately purchased SAS or SATA II
interface hard drives must be individually installed into the drive
trays. (See Section 2.7)
4. Install drive trays: After the hard drives have been installed
into the drive trays, the drive trays must be installed into the
enclosure itself. (See Section 2.8)
5. Cable connection: Use the supplied power cords to connect
the subsystem to main power. It is recommended to connect
power cords to separate and independent power sources for
higher redundancy; e.g., a UPS device. Make sure your
subsystem is electrically grounded.
6. Power on: Once the components have been properly installed
and all cables are properly connected, you can power on the
subsystem and configure the RAID array. (See Section 4.1)
The figure below shows a flowchart of the installation procedure. As
you complete each step, check off the "Done" box on the right.
Please use this flowchart in conjunction with the instructions that
follow.
