Chapter 1. Before you begin the installation
Before you can begin installing your system, you must unpack and verify your order and make other
preparations.
The Quick Installation Guide contains a set of instructions to help you unpack and install your system.
The guide is divided into three chapters.
1. The steps in Chapter 1 "Before you begin the installation" on page 1 (the chapter you are now reading)
involve verifying your order, becoming familiar with the hardware component terminology, and ensuring
that you have met the environmental requirements.
2. The steps in Chapter 2 "Installing the Lenovo Storage V7000 hardware" on page 11 involve installing the
hardware and attaching the data cables and power cords.
3. Chapter 3 "Configuring the system" on page 29 helps you create your configuration file and access the
management GUI. The management GUI guides you through the initial configuration process.
Important information:
• This guide presumes that you have read the planning information regarding your physical environment
that is available from the Information Center for Lenovo Storage V7000.
• Ensure that any cables that you are supplying are available for installation.
Table 4 "Steps for different installation scenarios" on page 1 lists the steps for each scenario.
