2.1.Installation Overview

This chapter gives detailed instructions on how to install hard disk drives and drive trays into the subsystem. Installation into a rack or cabinet should occur before hard drive installation. Please confirm that you received all of the components listed on a printed copy of Unpacking List included in the shipping package before proceeding with the installation process.

2.2.Installation Pre-requisites

1.Static-free installation environment: The subsystem must be installed in a static- free environment to minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. (See Section 2.3) Use of anti-static wristband and static-control devices such as ionizers, is recommended.

2.Component check: Before installing the subsystem, you should confirm that you have received all of the required components by checking the package contents against the Unpacking List.

3.Memory modules: If you wish to change the pre-installed memory modules, it is preferred that you install the separately purchased modules during the initial installation stage. (See Section 2.6.2)

4.Hard drives: Up to 24 hard drives have been pre-integrated into drive trays. On the rare occasion that a drive needs to be replaced, use this procedure. (See Section 2.7)

5.Cabling: All optical FC cables and SFP transceivers are user-supplied and should be purchased separately. (See Chapter 4)
