Installation

Preparation

Electrical Requirements

Before installing the disk system, make sure (1) electrical wiring, breakers, and
PDUs meet power needs, (2) the required support software is installed on the
host, and (3) if you are connecting the disk system to a V-class server, auto-
termination is enabled on the host bus adapter. This section covers all three of
these topics.
All electrical wiring to the service point (plug) must be sized to carry the
appropriate inrush (20 amps per power supply) and steady state currents. See the
following table for examples.
