The following instructions can save installation time. Detailed, illustrated instructions for each 

component are given in the following sections.

1.

Unpack: Unpack the subsystem and confirm that all the components on the Unpacking 

Checklist have been included. 

2.

Rack/Cabinet installation: If the subsystem is going to be installed in a rack or cabinet, it 

should be installed prior to installing the hard drives. Installing the subsystem into a rack 

or cabinet requires at least two (2) people. 

3.

Install drive trays: After the hard drives have been installed into the drive trays, the drive 

trays must be installed into the enclosure itself. (See Section 3.6 Drive Tray Installation)

4.

Cable connection: Use the power cords that came with the subsystem to connect the 

subsystem to the main power source. Use self-purchased SCSI cable to connect host 

ports to servers.

5.

Power up: Once the components have been properly installed and all cables are properly 

connected, you can power up the subsystem and configure the RAID array. (See 

Section 5.4 Power On)

Table 3.1 shows a flowchart of the installation procedure. As you complete each step, check 

off the “Done” box on the right. Please use this flowchart in conjunction with the instructions 

that follow. 

Use the unpacking checklist in your package to check packing contents. Carefully check the 

items contained in each box before proceeding with installation.

To ensure that your system is correctly installed, please follow the steps outlined below. If you 

follow these steps, installation will be fast and efficient. If you do not follow these steps, you 

may have incorrectly installed the hardware.
