Overview of steps to connect storage expansion enclosures to astorage subsystem
Toconnect storage expansion enclosures to the storage subsystem, perform the
following steps:
Note: The following procedures are for cold-caseprocedures (in which the
DS5020 is powered down when storage expansion enclosures are
connected, as in the case of initial installation). For hot-caseprocedures (in
which the DS5020 is powered on when storage expansion enclosures are
connected), refer to the IBM System Storage DS4000 Hard Drive and
Storage Expansion Enclosure Installation and Migration Guide.
