Figure 13. Drive bay numbering

The SMC - Storage Array subsystem is housed in a 4 x 3 enclosure (four drive bays wide by three bays high). The top bays are numbered 1 to 4 from left to right, as viewed from the front. Drive carrier module locations are identified from a matrix of the top and side numbers.

Enclosure installation prerequisites

The SMC - Storage Array is delivered fully populated with 12 drive carrier modules pre-installed.

Notes:

1.The SMC - Storage Array with all its component parts installed is too heavy for a single person to easily install into a rack cabinet.

2.Ensure that you have fitted and checked a suitable anti-static wrist or ankle strap and observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling modules and components. Avoid contact with backplane, server board and PCI card components and module connectors, or other parts. See the Safety and Warranty Guide for additional information on static electricity prevention.

Preparation of site and host server

Before beginning, make sure that the site where you intend to set up and use your SMC - Storage Array has standard AC power available from an independent source or a rack power distribution unit with a universal power supply (UPS).

Unpacking the enclosure system

The package contents and unpacking procedure are outlined in the following figure.
