Setting Up the Storage System
Consider the following best practices when setting up an SCv2000/SCv2020
storage system.
• Dell recommends that you use a dedicated SAN network for data transmission
when using a Fibre Channel or iSCSI storage system.
• Complete the Worksheet to Record System Information in this guide before
configuring the storage system.
• Always configure 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) specified by the manufacturer.
Safety Warnings
Battery pack warning
Remove the battery pack before removing a storage
controller from the storage system.
3

WARNING: Installing an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or
explosion. Observe the following precautions:
• The battery should only be replaced with a battery that is the same or
equivalent as the factory installed battery.
• Do not attempt to open or service the battery. Do not dispose of the
battery in a fire or with household waste. Contact the local waste disposal
agency for the location of the nearest battery deposit site.
Laser Radiation for Fibre Channel Storage Systems
CAUTION: Class I laser radiation when open, avoid exposure
to beam.
WARNING: Laser radiation, avoid direct exposure to beam.
The unit is certified 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 certified 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.

Fibre Channel Zoning Information
For a storage system with Fibre Channel front-end ports, record the physical and
virtual WWNs of the Fibre Channel ports in Fault Domain 1 and Fault Domain 2. This
information is displayed on the Review Front-End page of the Discover and
Configure Uninitialized SCv2000 Series Storage Centers wizard. Use this
information to configure zoning on each Fibre Channel switch.
See the Dell Storage Center SCv2000/SCv2020 Storage System Deployment Guide
for information about setting up Fibre Channel zoning.

Locating Your Service Tag
Your storage system is identified by a unique service tag and Express Service Code.
You can find the service tag and Express Service Code on the service luggage tag
located next to the front panel display. Alternatively, the information may be on a
sticker on the back of the storage system chassis. Dell uses this information to route
support calls to the appropriate personnel.

Installation and Configuration
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 space in the rack to install the storage system.
Unpacking Storage Center Equipment

Installing the Storage System in a Rack
Install the SCv2000/SCv2020 storage system and other Storage Center system
components in a rack.
NOTE: Mount the storage system in a manner that allows for expansion in
the rack and prevents the rack from becoming top‐heavy.
1. Secure the rails that are pre-attached to both sides of the storage system
chassis.
10

a. Lift the locking tab on the rail.
b. Push the rail towards the back of the chassis until it locks in place.
2. Determine where to mount the storage system in the rack and mark the location
at the front and rear of the rack.
NOTE: The storage system and expansion enclosures each require 2U
of rack space for installation.
3. Position the rails at the marked locations and extend the rails to fit the rack.
4. Insert the top rail pin in the middle hole of the top 1U and insert the bottom rail
pin in bottom hole of the bottom 1U.
5. Insert a screw into the top hole of the bottom 1U and tighten the screw to
secure the rail to the rack.

7. Secure the storage system chassis to the rack using the mounting screws within
each chassis ear.
a. Lift the latch on each chassis ear to access the screws.
b. Tighten the screws to secure the chassis into the rack.
c. Close the latch on each chassis ear.
For more information about installing the storage system, see the Dell Storage
Center SCv2000/SCv2020 Storage System Deployment Guide
8. If the Storage Center system includes expansion enclosures, mount the
expansion enclosures in the rack. For more information about installing an
expansion enclosure, see the Getting Started Guide included with the expansion
enclosure.
Installing 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.
12

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.
Connecting the Power Cables
Connect the power cables to the storage system.
1. Before connecting the power cables, make sure that the power switches on the
storage system are in the OFF position.
2. Connect the power cables to the power supplies in the storage system chassis.
Figure 6. Power Cables
3. Secure each power cable to the storage system chassis using the strain relief
fasteners.
13

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).
