Turn on the DC power
IMPORTANT: DC power is an option that is available for use with
your CE4900 controller-drive tray and FC4600 drive tray. If you
choose to have –48 VDC power available, you need a qualifi ed
service person to install the equipment that provides special DC
power connectors to each power-fan canister in your storage array.
WARNING (W14) Risk of bodily injury – A qualifi ed service person
is required to make the DC power connection according to NEC and
CEC guidelines.
WARNING (W12) Risk of electrical shock – This unit has more than
one power source. To remove all power from the unit, all DC MAINS
must be disconnected by removing all power connectors (see item 4
below) from the power supplies.

WARNING (W16) Risk of bodily injury – Each tray
has more than one power cord. To remove all electrical
current from the devices, make sure that all of the
power cords are disconnected from the power source
and that the two-pole 20-amp circuit breaker for the
storage array has been disconnected.
You must follow the power sequence in the order shown. To establish
power redundancy for trays with two power supplies, use a separate
power source for each power-fan canister. For additional redundancy,
you may connect each DC power connector on the same power-fan
canister to a different power source.
IMPORTANT You must turn on the power to all connected drive trays
before you turn on the power to the CE4900 controller-drive tray.
Performing this action makes sure that the controllers recognize each
attached drive tray.
Disconnect the two-pole 20-amp circuit breaker for the storage array.
7.1
Make sure that all of the DC power switches on the DC-powered
7.2
controller-drive tray and drive trays are turned off.
Connect the DC power connector cables to the DC power connectors
7.3
on the rear of the controller-drive tray and drive trays.

7.4
Power connector cables to the DC power plant equipment.
Turn on the Power switch on each power-fan canister in all of the newly
7.5
installed drive trays.
Turn on the Power switch on each power-fan canister in the controller-
7.6
drive tray.
NOTE When turning off the power to the storage array, perform the
procedure in the reverse order. Turn off the power fi rst to the controller-
drive tray, and then turn off the power to the drive trays.
8
Turn on the AC power
You must follow the power sequence in the order shown. To establish
power redundancy for trays with two power supplies, use at least two
different power distribution units (PDUs) in the cabinet. Split the power
connections from each tray into the separate PDUs. Then connect the
PDUs to external power receptacles that are on different circuits.
WARNING (W17) Risk of bodily injury – Each tray has
more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current
from the devices, make sure that all of the power cords are
disconnected from the power source.
IMPORTANT You must turn on the power to all connected drive trays
before you turn on the power to either the CE7900 controller tray or the
CE4900 controller-drive tray. Performing this action makes sure that
the controllers recognize each attached drive tray.
Turn off all of the Power switches from the rear of the storage array,
8.1
and make sure that all of the power cords are connected.
If the main AC circuit breaker switches in the cabinet are not already
8.2
turned on, turn on the circuit breaker switches.
Turn on the Power switch on each power-fan canister in all of the
8.3
newly installed drive trays.
Turn on the Power switch on each power-fan canister in the
8.4
CE4900 controller-drive tray or CE7900 controller tray.

NOTE When turning off the power to the storage array, perform the
procedure in the reverse order. Turn off the power fi rst to the CE4900
controller-drive tray or CE7900 controller tray, and then turn off the
power to the drive trays.
Determine the
9
management method
Both management methods are specifi c to the installation steps in
Section 10. This section and those that follow concern confi guration of
the entire storage array.
• In-band management – Managing a storage array by using a
storage management station to send commands through the host
input/output (I/O) connection to the controller.
• Out-of-band management – Managing a storage array by using
a storage management station to send commands through the
Ethernet connections on each controller.
For more information, refer to the "Deciding on the Management
Method" step in the Initial Confi guration and Software Installation
Guide for SANtricity™ ES Storage Manager.
For Out-of-band management, use one of the methods below to
confi gure the controllers for network connectivity:
Without a DHCP server
Connect separate Ethernet cables to each controller.
9.a1
Manually confi gure the network settings on the controllers, using
9.a2
the guidelines and procedures from the "Manually Confi guring the
Controllers" step in the Initial Confi guration and Software Installation
Guide for SANtricity ES Storage Manager.
With a DHCP server
Connect separate Ethernet cables to each controller.
9.b1
Assign static IP addresses to the controllers.
9.b2
NOTE This method applies only to IPv4 networks.
Stateless Address Autoconfi guration
Connect separate Ethernet cables to each controller.
9.c1
NOTE This method applies only to IPv6 networks and does not require
either a DHCP server or a router.

Install the software
Two types of computers are associated with the storage array.
•
Hosts send I/O to the storage array.
•
Management stations manage the storage array.
The type of operating system that the management station runs is the
directory that you need to locate on the DVD.
At this time, check your current Fibre Channel host bus adapters'
10.1
(HBAs') BIOS, and device driver versions, and, if necessary, update
them before proceeding. For HBAs, obtain the BIOS and device
drivers directly from the vendor.
For Microsoft Windows installations,
