Hardware Installation
2.1 Installation Overview
This chapter gives detailed instructions on how to install the controller
module, hard drives, and drive trays into the subsystem. 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
components listed on the Unpacking List that came with the subsystem
before proceeding with the installation process.
CAUTION!
Carefully follow the installation instructions described in this manual to
prevent any difficulties and damages to your system.
2.2 Installation Pre-requisites
1.
Static-free installation environment: The subsystems must be installed
in a static-free environment to minimize the possibility of electrostatic
discharge (ESD) damage. (See Section 2.3)
2.
Component check: Before installing the subsystem, check to see that
you have received all the required components. (See Section 2.5) If any
items appear damaged, contact your vendor for a replacement.
3.
Memory modules: If you wish to change the pre-installed DDR RAM
DIMM module, the separately purchased module(s) must be installed.
(See Chapter 5)
4.
Hard drives: Up to twenty-four (24) SATA hard drives must be
purchased separately and be available prior to installing the subsystem
(See Section 2.6)
5.
Cabling: All optical FC cables that connect the subsystem to the hosts
must be purchased separately. Please see Chapter 3 for sample
topologies and configuration options. Contact your vendor or Infortrend
for the list of compatible cables.
