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

subsystem, it is necessary to install the controller module, hard drives, and drive trays. Instal-

lation 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 components listed on the 

Unpacking List that came with the subsystem before proceeding with the installation process.

1.

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

Hard drives: Up to sixteen (16) SATA-I or SATA-II hard drives must be purchased sepa-
