Enclosure Setup

2.Using four of the provided rack mounting screws, secure the RX1600RAID enclosure to the rack; do not overtighten the screws (Figure 7).

C - Prepare the Drive Enclosure for Use

WARNING: When handling computer products, take care to prevent components from being damaged by static electricity;

avoid working in carpeted areas. Handle hard drives only by their edges and avoid touching connector traces and component pins.

1.Remove a drive module from its packaging, and then pull out its lever out until it stops (Figure 8).

WARNING: Before shipping a Fusion RX1600 storage system, Sonnet formats and tests the included drives, and then

configures them as a RAID group. The individual drive modules are then removed from the enclosure and labelled with numbers from

1 – 16, and then packaged. When setting up your Fusion storage system, it is important that you install the drive modules into the enclosure in numbered order, left-to-right;if you don't do this, your

storage system’s performance will suffer.

2.With its lever fully open, carefully slide the drive module into its assigned slot (drive 1 in slot 1, etc.) in the enclosure until it stops, and then secure it by pushing the lever in until it snaps closed.

(Figure 9).

WARNING: When inserting drive modules into the enclosure, do not force the levers closed. If a lever does not close easily,

remove and reinsert the module, and then push the lever in again.

3.Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each remaining drive module.

D - Connect the Drive Enclosure to the Sonnet RAID Controller

This section describes the connection of the Fusion RX1600RAID drive enclosure to the Sonnet RAID controller card.

1.Insert one end of each of the supplied data cables to the PRM LINK mini-SAS ports on the enclosure; verify the connectors are plugged in securely (Figure 10).
