Note: Perform this step if the attached storage expansion enclosures are EXP710s or EXP100s only. The EXP810 storage expansion enclosure IDs are automatically set by the controllers to be unique when they are cabled together.

12.Perform one of the following cabling tasks to enable management of the DS4700 Express configuration:

vIf you are using out-of-band management, cable the DS4700 Express Ethernet ports to either the management workstation or the host.

vIf you are using in-band management, cable the DS4700 Express host channels to the fibre channel host bus adapters (HBAs) in either the hosts or the fibre channel switch that connects to the host HBAs. See “Connecting hosts to the DS4700 Express” on page 104.

13.Connect the power cables for the DS4700 Express. See “Cabling the ac power supply for ac models” on page 111.

14.Power on the attached storage expansion enclosure and the DS4700 Express Storage Subsystem using the procedure described in “Powering on the storage subsystem” on page 119.

15.Install the DS4000 Storage Manager host software on the management workstation (for out-of-band management) or on the host (for in-band management). Refer to the IBM System Storage DS4000 Storage Manager Version 10 Installation and Host Support Guide for the appropriate operating system for instructions on how to install the DS4000 Storage Manager host software.

16.Use the DS4000 Storage Manager host software to verify the configuration.

17.Review and perform the procedures described in “Performing the DS4000 Health Check process” on page 117.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.

To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD), observe the following precautions:

vLimit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

vHandle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.

vDo not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.

vDo not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device.

vWhile the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the system unit for at least two seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.

vRemove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it in its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal table.

vTake additional care when handling devices during cold weather because heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
