Step 6: Installing Option Kits in your MSA1000

If your plans include adding any of the available option kits for the MSA1000
(such as a redundant controller, additional controller cache, or embedded
interconnect device), install them now.
It is easier to install these options now, before you install the MSA1000 in
the rack.
Some of the MSA1000 option kits include:

Caution: Do not install hard drives in the MSA1000 until after the MSA1000
is mounted in the rack.
Installed drives will make the MSA1000 too heavy to safely lift and install
in the rack.
If the hard drives are installed prior to racking the MSA1000, the
vibrations caused while moving the MSA1000 may damage the hard
drives and void their warranty.
