Hardware Installation
This chapter describes how to install modular components, such as hard drives into
the enclosure and CBM into the RAID controller enclosure.
NOTE
Enclosure installation into a rack or cabinet should occur BEFORE hard drives are
installed into the system.
Installation Prerequisites
Static-free installation environment: The system must be installed in a static-free
environment to minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
Component check: Before installing the system, check to see that you have
received all the required components using the Unpacking List included in the
package. If there are item(s) missing or appear damaged, contact your vendor for a
replacement.
Hard drives: SAS/ NL-SAS/ SATA hard drives must be purchased separately and be
available prior to installing the system.
Cabling: All the cables that connect the system to the hosts must be purchased
separately. Please refer to
System Connection
for sample topologies and
configuration options. Contact your vendor for the list of compatible cables.
Memory modules: If you wish to change the pre-installed DIMM module, you can
find DIMM replacement procedures in
Replacing the Memory Module for RAID
Models.
CBM: For single controller RAID systems, if you ordered a CBM as an additional
component and wish to install CBM (BBU and/or FBM), the CBM should be installed
prior to powering on the system.
Rack installation: The rack slide rails are optional accessories and should you need
to install it, please refer to the
Slide Rail Installation Guide
section.
