Thank you for purchasing the StorTrends® 3200 storage appliance.  Please take a few 
minutes to review this set up guide before beginning the installation process.  If you 
require a further explanation of any item covered in this guide, please refer to the 
installation instructions on your CD. 
 
This manual is written for the end-user to get up and running with the unit as quickly as 
possible. Installation and maintenance should be performed by experienced technicians 
only. 
 

 
This section provides a quick setup checklist to get your StorTrends® 3200 Storage 
Appliance up and running. Following the steps in the order given should enable you to 
have the system operational within a minimal amount of time.  
 

Note: 

Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process in a minimal 
amount of time. Read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation 
procedure outlined in this section. 
 

 
You should inspect the box the StorTrends® 3200 Storage Appliance was shipped in and 
note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage, you should file a 
damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.  
 
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the StorTrends® 3200 
Storage Appliance. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. 
Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. You 
will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack and Server 
Precautions in the next section.
