Storage network
The Dell Storage Designed for Scality RING solution requires a switch for the storage network. The
selection depends on the NDCs selected for the Dell SD7000-S and Dell SD630-S servers.
Dell recommends having two bonded network connections from each server to the application network
routed through two separate, redundant switches.

Installing the Dell SD7000-S servers into the rack space
NOTE: For weight stability, always load the rack by using a bottom-up approach. Locate the Dell
DS7000-S server near the bottom of the rack.
Before installing the servers, ensure that the space allocated for the Dell SD7000-S server does not
contain a power strip installed internal to the rack because the server completely fills the space from the
front to back doors.
Installing the hard drives into the Dell SD7000-S server
The hard drives are packed in separate boxes from the server. To remove the top cover from the Dell
SD7000-S server and install the drives, follow the instructions in the Owner's Manual.
Installing the hard drives into the Dell SD7000-S Single Node server
Install HDDs and SSDs into the open slots in each Dell SD7000-S server as shown in the figures here. The
Physical Server located in the lower sled A connects to all 90 slots. Install the SSDs in the highest
numbered slots and install the HDDs in the lowest numbered slots. Insert the drive blanks in all remaining
slots.
