If an item is missing or damaged, contact your IBM reseller or your IBM marketing
representative.
If you have not already done so, take a moment to review the information in this
chapter and record your expansion unit serial number in the table in "Identification
numbers" on page 39. Then, return to this chapter to begin the installation process.
Before you begin, review the following assumptions:
• If you are installing the expansion unit in a rack, you have already installed the
other components in the rack and moved the rack to its permanent operating
location.
• You have already installed and configured the host controllers and appropriate
host adapters.
• There are 68-pin VHDCI SCSI cables attached to the host controllers, ready for
final connection to the expansion unit.
• The installation site meets all area, environmental, power, and site requirements
for the expansion unit. Refer to the expansion unit requirements listed under
"Operating specifications" on page 9.
This section explains how to remove the CRUs and set the option switches to prepare
the expansion unit for installation.
