Inventory list
The following inventory list describes the items that you need to install the DS3500 storage subsystem or
EXP3500 storage enclosure in the rack cabinet. If any items are missing or damaged, contact your place of
purchase.
Notes:
1. Depending on your DS3500 or EXP3500 order, your shipping box might contain additional materials
not listed in the following checklist. Review the inventory checklist in the IBM System Storage DS3500
and EXP3500 Installation, User's, and Maintenance Guide that came with the hardware for any additional
parts, and use that checklist in combination with the following information.
2. The host-interface cables, Ethernet cables, Fibre Channel signal cables, and iSCSI signal cables that are
shipped vary with the hardware, and not included in the following list.
After you unpack the DS3500 or EXP3500, verify that you have the following items for each storage
subsystem or storage expansion controller.
v Hard disk drives or blank trays (12 or 24) (Your storage subsystem or expansion enclosure might come
with up to 24 drives.)
v RAID controllers (DS3500 only, up to 2)
v Environmental Service Modules (ESM) (EXP3500 only, 1)
v AC power models:
– AC power supply and fan units (2)
– Rack jumper line cords (2)
v DC power models:
– DC power supply and fan units (2)
– DC jumper cables (2)
v Rack-mounting hardware kit (1), including:

power models do not ship with a 30A rated disconnect device (circuit-breaker) that is
required for the -48V DC power connection. See the IBM System Storage DS3500 and EXP3500
Installation, User's, and Maintenance Guide for more information.
