This chapter gives detailed instructions on how to install the subsystem. When installing the 

subsystem, it is necessary to mount the chassis into a rack or cabinet and to install hard 

drives and drive trays. Installation into a rack or cabinet should occur before the hard drives or 

drive trays are installed into the subsystem. Please confirm that you received all of the compo-

nents listed on the Unpacking List that came with the subsystem before proceeding with the 

installation process.

•

Static free installation environment: The subsystems must be installed in a static-free 

environment to minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. (See 

•

Component check: Before installing the subsystems, you should first check to see that 

you have received all the required components. If any items appear damaged, contact 

your vendor for a replacement. 

•

Hard drives: Hard drives must be purchased separately prior to the subsystem installa-

tion.

•

Cabling: 

–

The subsystems requires an external VHDCI-to-VHDCI SCSI round cable to connect 

the subsystem to a host computer. 

–

One (1) audio-jack-to-DB9 cable is provided to facilitate the connection of the COM1 

port for local terminal emulation access to the array. 

–

Two (2) power cords are provided for the power connections to the power sources. 

–

The RJ-45 Ethernet cable for network management connection is a user-supplied 

item.

•

Memory module: If you wish to change the pre-installed memory module, a separately 

purchased module must be installed. Please contact your vendor for a different memory 

module or consult the list of compatible modules. 

•

Rack installation: The enclosure chassis can be installed into a rack cabinet using self-

purchased mounting rails. A printed copy of installation guide is provided with the slide 

rails package. 

Please note that the installation instructions described in this chapter should be carefully fol-

lowed to prevent any difficulties and damages to your system.
