Setting Up The Storage System; Safety Warnings - Dell SCv2080 Getting Started Manual

Setting Up the Storage System

Consider the following best practices when setting up an SCv2080 storage system.
• Dell recommends that you use a dedicated SAN network for data transmission
when using a Fibre Channel or iSCSI storage system.
• Complete the Worksheet to Record System Information in this guide before
configuring the storage system.
• Always configure redundant data paths to provide alternate paths to and from
the host server should one of the data paths become disabled.
• Before connecting any cables between the storage system and host server or
expansion enclosure, physically label each port and connector.
• Always follow proper power-up and power-down procedures when cycling power
across the network. Verify that critical network components are on separate
power circuits.
NOTE: This product is intended for restricted access locations, such as a
dedicated equipment room or equipment closet.
WARNING: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient
temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
