Registering with the HPE Email Preferences Center The HPE Email Preferences Center website includes options to register for and automatically receive, by e-mail, personalized product tips, update information, driver- and support-related advisories, and other notices for this and other Hewlett Packard Enterprise devices. -
Page 7: Required Installation Tools
Access to the Internet NOTE: A variety of disk drives, SAS controllers, controller enclosures, and SAS cables are supported for use with this disk enclosure. For more information, see the HPE D3000 Enclosures QuickSpecs available on the Accessing QuickSpecs website . -
Page 8: Striping Methods
Striping methods There are two methods for configuring the physical layout of the disk arrays: • Vertical striping—the RAID array uses one physical drive from each disk enclosure. • Horizontal striping—the RAID array uses multiple drives contained within one or more disk enclosures. RAID levels Controllers use RAID technology to group multiple disk drives together in larger logical units (LUNs). -

RAID level Data redundancy RAID method RAID 5 Medium Striping and parity RAID 6 High Striping and parity RAID 6 with Advance Data Guarding High Striping and parity (ADG) RAID best practices • RAID 0: Do not use LUNs if fault tolerance is required. Consider RAID 0 only for noncritical storage. RAID 0 LUNs provide the best performance for applications that use random I/O. -

Page 12: Installing The Rack
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that: • At least two people lift the storage system during removal or installation if the weight exceeds 22.7 kg (50 lb). If the system is being loaded into the rack above chest level, a third person MUST assist with aligning the system with the rails while the other two people support the weight of the system. - Page 13 6. Secure front of rail to the front RETMA column using the provided flat securing screw/guide pin in the bottom screw position of the rail. 7. Slide the enclosure into position on the rails (1). Secure the chassis into the rack by tightening the captive CTO screw behind the latch on the front left and right bezel ears of the chassis (2).

Page 15: Disk Drive Guidelines
Disk drive guidelines • Follow industry-standard practices when handling disk drives. Internal storage media can be damaged when drives are shaken, dropped, or roughly placed on a work surface. • When installing a disk drive, press firmly to make sure the drive is fully seated in the drive bay and then close the latch handle. -

2. Verify that the servers, controllers, operating system version, and service packs are supported for use with the disk enclosure. For more information, see the HPE D3000 Enclosures QuickSpecs on the Accessing QuickSpecs website. 3. Install all operating system-specific service packs, patch kits, or other required tools. -
Page 17: Connecting Sas Cables And Power Cords
• Use supported SAS cables and power cords. A variety of cables and cable lengths are supported for use with this disk enclosure. For more information, see the HPE D3000 Enclosures QuickSpecs on the Accessing QuickSpecs website. • Use the shortest possible cable between devices. Shorter cables reduce the possibility of signal degradation that might occur over longer distances. -
