Overland recommends grouping columns of drives of the same speed next to each other when possible.

Installing Drives

NOTE: Do not remove the disk drives from their carriers. Doing so voids the drive warranty.

Once the unit is in the rack, install the drives. Initially, the top row is empty and the other two rows are filled with drive blanks. Remove as many blanks as needed:

1.If a drive blank is in the slot where you are about to install a disk drive, remove the blank by pressing the lever release button and pulling it out.

2.Remove a drive assembly from the packaging.

3.Press the button to release the lever.

4.With the button on the right, position the drive assembly in front of the appropriate bay and slide it in (Figure 13) until resistance is felt.

Figure 13. Inserting Drive Carriers

5.Push the lever in to lock the assembly in the bay.

6.Repeat Steps 1–5for each remaining drive carriers.

IMPORTANT: To maintain proper airflow and cooling, a drive assembly or a blank drive carrier must be installed

in every slot. No empty slots are allowed.

Attach the Bezel

Once in the rack, attach the front bezel (Figure 14):

2.Push the other side in until it latches (clicks).

3.If desired, lock the bezel.

Cable Attachment

All cabling and power connections are located on the rear panel of the SAN S2000 appliance (Figure 15). All unit cooling exhaust is handled through the rear panel.

Figure 15. SAN S2000 Rear Panel Connections

1.Plug the network connection into Data Port 1.

Using a Category 5e (or better) cable, connect Data Port 1 on the appliance to a Gigabit Ethernet switch on the same LAN segment as the management system.

2.Attach the power cords to the AC Power sockets on back panel.

3.Plug the power cords into an UPS appliance or AC power source.

4.Make sure that a iSCSI Initiator and the .NET (dot NET) framework is installed on each Windows host before continuing.

5.Install the Windows SAN Manager Suite software from the supplied CD on a host computer attached to the same subnetwork.

If Autorun is enabled, program launches an HTML contents page where you select the appropriate type of software to load (32-bit or 64-bit).

If you are using a Mozilla-based browser or Autorun is disabled, you need to use your file manager to browse the CD and launch start.html at the root level.

6.Follow the on-screen instructions.

Power Up the SAN S2000

IMPORTANT: Always turn on any EXP E2000 expansion units on before powering up your SAN S2000. This

enables the head unit to discover the attached expansions.
