General Installation Procedure
Rack/Cabinet installation: If the subsystem is going to be installed
in a rack or cabinet, it should be installed prior to installing the hard
drives. Installing the subsystem into a rack or cabinet requires at
least two (2) people.
Install hard drives: Hard drives have been preinstalled and tested in
drive trays. Use this procedure for replacement of faulty drives (See
Section 2.9)
Install drive trays: After the hard drives have been installed into the
drive trays, the drive trays must be installed into the enclosure itself.
(See Section 2.10)
Cable connection: Use the power cords that came with the
subsystem to connect the subsystem to the main power source. Use
self-purchased SCSI cables (see Chapter 4 for more details) to
connect host ports to servers.
Power up: Once the components have been properly installed and
all cables are properly connected, you can power up the subsystem
and configure the RAID array. (See Section 4.4)
