Installation and Configuration
WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, review the safety
instructions that came with all Storage Center components.
Unpacking the System
NOTE: Unpacking, installing, and deploying your Storage Center may be
done only by a certified service technician.
Before you begin, make sure the site where you intend to set up and use
the Storage Center has the following:
• Standard power from an independent source or a rack power
distribution unit with a UPS.
• Storage Center with the latest firmware, BIOS, and drivers. Contact
your supplier for the correct software versions.
Installation Overview
The installation process follows the general steps below. For detailed
information, refer to vendor documentation supplied with the equipment.
CAUTION: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given
to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer. For more
information, see "Technical Specifications" on page 8.
1 Assemble the rails following the safety instructions and the rack
installation instructions provided with your system.
2 Install network switches, as applicable.
3 Unpack the Storage Center controllers.
4 Unpack and install the IO cards into the Storage Center controllers.
5 Install the Storage Center controllers into the rack.
6 Unpack the enclosures.
7 Install the enclosures into the rack.

4 Getting Started With Your System
• Always load the rack from the bottom up for weight stability.
• You can allow room for expansion if you have fewer than the
maximum number of enclosures.
8 Unwrap and insert each drive into the enclosure one at a time.
• Protect the drive from static discharge.
• Handle drives by the edges of the frame.
CAUTION: If the enclosure system operates for more than a few minutes
with missing drives, the enclosure can overheat, causing power failure and
data loss. Such use may invalidate the warranty.
