This chapter gives detailed instructions on how to install hard disk drives and drive trays 

into the subsystem. Installation into a rack or cabinet should occur before hard drive 

installation. Please confirm that you received all of the components listed on a printed 

copy of Unpacking List included in the shipping package before proceeding with the 

installation process.  

 

1.  Static-free installation environment: The subsystem must be installed in a static-

free environment to minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD) 

damage. (See Section 2.3) Use of anti-static wristband and static-control devices 

such as ionizers, is recommended. 

2.  Component check: Before installing the subsystem, you should confirm that you 

have received all of the required components by checking the package contents 

against the Unpacking List. 

3.  Memory modules: If you wish to change the pre-installed memory modules, it is 

preferred that you install the separately purchased modules during the initial 

installation stage. (See Section 2.6.2) 

4.  Hard drives: Up to 24 hard drives have been pre-integrated into drive trays.  On the 

rare occasion that a drive needs to be replaced, use this procedure. (See Section 2.7) 

5.  Cabling: All optical FC cables and SFP transceivers are user-supplied and should be 

purchased separately. (See Chapter 4)
