Setting Up the Storage System
Consider the following best practices when setting up an SC7020 series storage
system.
• Dell recommends that you use a dedicated SAN network for data transmission
when using a Fibre Channel or iSCSI storage system.
• Always congure redundant data paths to provide alternate paths to and from the
host server should one of the data paths become disabled.
• Before connecting any cables between the storage system and host server or
expansion enclosure, physically label each port and connector.
• Always follow proper power-up and power-down procedures when cycling power
across the network. Verify that critical network components are on separate
power circuits.
NOTE: This product is intended for restricted access locations, such as a
dedicated equipment room or equipment closet.
WARNING: 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) specied by the manufacturer.
Safety Warnings
Two person lift required
A fully congured SC7020 series storage system
weighs approximately 45 kg (100 lb). Use appropriate
lifting methods when installing the storage system.
Laser Radiation for Fibre Channel Storage Systems
CAUTION: Class I laser radiation when open, avoid exposure
to beam.
3

WARNING: Laser radiation, avoid direct exposure to beam.
The unit is certied in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR,
chapter 1 Subchapter J for Class I (1) laser products, and elsewhere is certied as a
Class I laser product conforming to the requirements of IEC 60825-1:2007.
Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The laser system and unit
are designed so there is never any human access to laser radiation above a Class I
level during normal operation, user maintenance or prescribed service condition.
Locating Your Service Tag
Your storage system is identied by a unique service tag and Express Service Code.
The service tag and Express Service Code are found on the front of the system by
pulling out the information tag. Alternatively, the information might be on a sticker on
the back of the storage system chassis. This information is used by Dell to route
support calls to the appropriate personnel.
NOTE: The Quick Resource Locator (QRL) code on the information tag is
unique to your system. Scan the QRL to get immediate access to your
system information using your smart phone or tablet.
Other Information You May Need
To install the storage system, you may need the following additional information:
•Dell SC7020 and SC7020F Storage Systems Owner’s Manual
Provides information about an SC7020 series storage system, such as hardware
features, replacing hardware components, and technical specications.
•Dell Storage Manager Administrator’s Guide
Provides instructions for using the Data Collector Manager and the Dell Storage
Manager Client.

Installation and Conguration
Before you begin installation, make sure that the site where you plan to install the
storage system has standard power from an independent source or a rack power
distribution unit with a UPS.
In addition, verify that there is a 3U space in the lower 20U of the rack to install the
storage system. If you plan to install the storage system above the lower 20U of a
rack, a customer-provided mechanical lift must be used to avoid injury.
Unpacking Storage Center Equipment
Unpack the storage system and identify the items in your shipment.

Install the Storage System in a Rack
Install the storage system and other Storage Center system components in a rack.
About this task
Mount the storage system and expansion enclosures in a manner that allows for
expansion in the rack and prevents the rack from becoming top‐heavy.
The SC7020 series storage system ships with a ReadyRails II kit. The rails come in two
dierent styles: tool-less and tooled. Follow the detailed installation instructions
located in the rail kit box for your particular style of rails.
NOTE: Dell recommends using two people to install the rails, one at the
front of the rack and one at the back.
Steps
1. Position the left and right rail end pieces labeled FRONT facing inward.
2. Align each end piece with the top and bottom holes of the appropriate U space.
6

Figure 2. Attach the Rails to the Rack
3. Engage the back end of the rail until it fully seats and the latch locks into place.
4. Engage the front end of the rail until it fully seats and the latch locks into place.
5. Align the system with the rails and slide the storage system into the rack.
7

Figure 3. Slide the Storage System Onto the Rails
6. Lift the latches on each side of the front panel and tighten the screws to the
rack.
8

Figure 4. Tighten the Screws
If the Storage Center system includes expansion enclosures, mount the expansion
enclosures in the rack. See the instructions included with the expansion enclosure for
detailed steps.
Install the Front Bezel
Install the bezel on the front of the storage system.
1. Hook the right end of the bezel onto the storage system.
9

Figure 5. Front Bezel
2. Insert the left end of the bezel into the securing slot until the release latch snaps
into place.
3. Secure the bezel with the keylock.
Connect the Power Cables
Connect power cables to the storage system.
1. Make sure that the power switches are in the OFF position before connecting
the power cables.
2. Connect the power cables securely to both power supply/cooling fan modules in
the storage system chassis.
10

Figure 6. Connect the Power Cables
3. Use the straps to secure the power cables to the storage system chassis.
Figure 7. Secure the Power Cables
4. Plug the other end of the power cables into a grounded electrical outlet or a
separate power source such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) or a power
distribution unit (PDU).
