fitted to the edge of the rack post.
4. Install the 5U storage array into the rack:
Slide the storage array into the rack until it is fully
seated on its rails.
Secure the front and rear of the storage array using the
fastening screws.
5. Reinstall the rear-panel controllers, per the instructions
in the Dell EMC PowerVault ME4 Series Storage
System Deployment Guide.
CAUTION! Once the storage array is mounted, dispose of
the lifting straps. The straps are not suitable for reuse.

 Pull the drawer outward until it locks at the drawer stops.
2. Install half of the drives (35) in the drawer:
Install the drives from front to back in drive slots 0–34.
Align the drive with the target drive slot and insert it.
Push the drive downward and hold it.
Secure the drive by moving the slide latch to the left.
3. Close the bottom drawer:
Press and hold the drawer latches on the sides of the
open drawer.

4 — Connect Cables
The following deployment documents a Sensor System with a
single sensor (SA-SRVG8-20 or SA-SRVG8-40) connected to
a storage array (SA-STAG8-2U144) with up to three expansion
enclosures (SA-STXG8-2X144). For information on other
deployments, see the Security Analytics documentation at:
techdocs.broadcom.com
NOTE: Network cables are not included with the storage
array. Make sure to use only straight-through Ethernet
cables. Category 5E cables or better are recommended for
1000Base-T operation. Category 6A cables are
recommended for 10GBase-T operation.
NOTE: For SAS connections, use the 12Gb HD-Mini to HD-
Mini SAS cables included with the storage array, or equivalent.
1. Connect the storage array to the management network:
Connect an Ethernet cable to the storage array’s
Network port on Controller A. Connect the other end
of the cable to the management network.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the storage array’s
Network port on Controller B. Connect the other end
of the cable to the management network.
2. Connect the storage array to the sensor:
 If the sensor has one RAID controller (see Figure 1):
– Connect an SAS cable to the storage array’s SAS 0
port on Controller A. Connect the other end of the
cable to the sensor’s SAS 0 port (RAID 1).
– Connect an SAS cable to the storage array’s SAS 0
port on Controller B. Connect the other end of the
cable to the sensor’s SAS 1 port (RAID 1).
If the sensor has two RAID controllers, connect the
following cables as well (see Figure 2):
– Connect an SAS cable to the storage array’s SAS 1
port on Controller A. Connect the other end of the
cable to the sensor’s SAS 0 port (RAID 2).
– Connect an SAS cable to the storage array’s SAS 1
port on Controller B. Connect the other end of the
cable to the sensor’s SAS 1 port (RAID 2).
3. Daisy-chain up to three expansion enclosures from the
storage array’s SAS_EXP ports (see Figure 3) .
4. Connect the included power cords to the storage array’s
power inlets. Connect the other ends of the cords to
separate power distribution systems.
