Notes

Note the following issues when connecting the ETERNUS DX to a server.

3.1

Check the BIOS and firmware versions for the SAS cards being used. If these are different from the versions in

the "Server Support Matrix", download and install the appropriate BIOS or firmware version from the SAS card

vendor's web-site.

3.2

Before turning the server on, check that the ETERNUS DX storage systems are all "Ready". If the server is

turned on and they are not "Ready", the server will not be able to recognize the ETERNUS DX storage systems.

Also, when the ETERNUS DX power supply is being controlled by a UPS power supply linkage, make sure that

the ETERNUS DX is never turned off before the connected servers. If turned off, data writes from the running

server cannot be saved to the ETERNUS DX storage systems, and already saved data may also be affected.

3.3

For details involving RHEL, refer to the Red Hat web-site and any documentation available.

3.4

For details involving SLES, refer to the Novell web-site and any documentation available.
