2.1 Introduction
This chapter gives detailed instructions on how to install the controller
module, hard drives, and drive trays into the subsystem. 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
components listed on the Unpacking List that came with the subsystem
before proceeding with the installation process.
Please note that the installation instructions described in this manual
should be carefully followed to prevent any difficulties and damages to
your system.
2.2 Installation Prerequisites
1. Static-free installation environment: The A16F-R2422 subsystem
must be installed in a static-free environment to minimize the
possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. (See Section 2.3.2)
2. Component check: Before installing the A16F-R2422 subsystem, you
should first check to see that you have received all the required
components. (See Section 2.5) If any items appear damaged, contact
your vendor for a replacement.
3. Hard drives: Up to sixteen (16) SATA-II hard drives have been pre-
installed into drive trays. Follow this procedure incase a hard drive
needs replacement. (See Section 2.7)
4. Cabling: All Fibre cables used to connect the subsystem to the host
computers or external devices must be purchased separately. Please see
Chapter 4 for sample topologies and configuration options. Contact
your vendor or Infortrend for the list of compatible cables.
