Installation

Installation checklist

This chapter shows how to plan for and successfully install your enclosure system into an industry standard 19-inch rack
cabinet.
CAUTION: To install the system, use only the power cords supplied, or power cables that match the specification
quoted in "AC power cords" (page
The following table outlines the steps required to install the enclosures, and initially configure and provision the storage
system. To ensure successful installation, perform the tasks in the order presented.
Table 8 Installation checklist
Step Task
1 Unpack the enclosure
2 Install the controller enclosure and optional
drive enclosures in the rack.
3 Connect power cords.
4 Test enclosure connectivity.
5 Install required host software.
6 Connect hosts.
7 Connect remote management hosts.
8 Obtain IP values and set network port IP
properties on the controller enclosure.
9 For CNC models, verify the host interface
protocol setting (not necessary for SAS models).
10 Perform initial configuration tasks:
• Sign-in to the web-browser interface to
access the application GUI.
• Verify firmware revisions and update if
necessary.
• Initially configure and provision the
system using the SMC.
1-The environment in which the enclosure operates must be dust-free to ensure adequate airflow.
2-For more information about hosts, see the About hosts topic in the Storage Management Guide.
3-The Storage Management Console is introduced in
information.

Planning for installation

Before beginning the enclosure installation, familiarize yourself with the system configuration requirements. The figures
listed below show the locations for each plug-in module:
