SnapSAN S1000 User Guide
Before starting, prepare the following items:
• A host with a Gigabit Ethernet NIC (recommended).
• A management computer on the same network as the SnapSAN S1000.
• Use either CAT 5e or CAT 6 (recommended) network cables for the management port
and the iSCSI data ports (10GB and 1Gb controllers only).
• A storage system configuration plan by your network administrator.
The plan should include network information for the management port and iSCSI data
ports. If using static IP addresses, prepare a list of the static IP addresses, the subnet
mask, and the default gateway.
• Gigabit switches (recommended) or Gigabit switches with VLAN / LACP / Trunking
(optional):
• For a 4-port Gigabit S1000, 4 or 8 available ports on a Gigabit switch.
• For a 2-port 10GbE S1000, 2 or 4 available 10Gb ports with SFP+ connections.
• For a 2-port Fibre Channel S1000, 2 or 4 available 4Gb Fibre Channel ports with

(both Controller 1 and Controller 2), and then the MPIO should setup automatically.
• For an iSCSI dual-controller system, install an iSNS server on the same LAN
(recommended).

Drive Slot Numbering

The drives can be installed into any slot in the enclosure. Slot numbering is reflected in Web
Management Interface.
Different capacity drives can be installed; however, they should not be in the same RAID set,
because capacity usage for all drives in the RAID is limited to the smallest drive capacity.
IMPORTANT: Install at least one drive in Slots 1 to 4 (shaded slots). System event logs are
saved in these drives. Otherwise, event logs no longer exist after a reboot.
