Before you begin
Welcome
The system you are about to install comes factory pre-loaded with EMC®Celerra®Network Server
software (DART) and CLARiiON®storage array software (FLARE®).
Software upgrade
If you bought a software maintenance contract, you are entitled to software upgrades only after the
installation, Celerra Startup Assistant (CSA), and registration have successfully completed.
Site preparation
Complete the site preparation by verifying the following activities before installation:
• Network connections
• Power requirements
• Rack space requirements
Default IP addresses
The system components communicate with each other using a private Internet Protocol (IP) network.
By default, this network uses the IP addresses listed in the following table.
If your existing IP network uses addresses on these subnets, you are required to change the private
network addresses of your Celerra Network Server to different subnets before the installation.
Primary internal network 128.221.252.100
Backup internal network 128.221.253.100
Netmask 255.255.255.0
IP address of storage processorA 128.221.252.200
IP address of storage processor B 128.221.253.201

Installation overview steps
For more information, refer to Celerra Tools on http://Powerlink.EMC.com
Installation steps:
1. Review and complete the Celerra worksheet, pages 31-32,and verify that the site is properly
prepared for the installation of your Celerra NS-120.
About 20 minutes.
2. If your Celerra NS-120 is to be installed in a customer-supplied rack, use this document to unpack
the system from the mini-rack shipping container, remove the reusable rails, and install the system
in your available rack.
About 40 minutes.
Note: If your Celerra NS-120 system arrived at your site in a pre-installed cabinet and is
previously cabled, verify the cabling before you begin the use of your system.
Cable your system according to the instructions and illustrations contained in this document.
Ensure that all of your cables are seated securely.
About 45 minutes.
3. When you install your Celerra NS-120, use the Celerra Startup Assistant (CSA) to pre-configure
your system. The latest version of the CSA can be downloaded from the Celerra Tools section on
Powerlink®.. The CSAis also on the Celerra Applications & Tools CD.
About 15 minutes.
4. Register your system with the service provider. If you do not register your system now, using the
Celerra Startup Assistant, your request for support from your service provider will be delayed.
You can also register your Celerra NS-120 by downloading the Registration Wizard on Powerlink.
About 5 minutes.
Implementation step:
5. After you have registered your Celerra NS-120 system, you must configure the system for
production. You can use the Provisioning Wizard in the CSA, one of the several pre-packaged
implementation configurations based on common usages, or your own implementation using
Celerra Manager to configure your system. At the end of each one of these configurations,
your system will be ready for production.
Note: If your Celerra NS-120 system has the Fibre Channel-enabled option use
Navisphere®Manager to provision storage for use by other Hosts.

6
Unpacking the Celerra NS-120 system
If your Celerra NS-120 system was purchased and shipped in an EMC 40 Unit cabinet, (70 in.
where1 unit =1.75 in.), start on page 15 of this document and confirm that the cables are installed
correctly and securely; otherwise start unpacking your Celerra NS-120 system from the disposable
mini-rack shipping container.

Remove components from shipping container
For more information, refer to Celerra Tools on http://Powerlink.EMC.com
2. Carefully set aside each component as
it is removed from the mini-rack shipping
container.
Caution: Two people are required to remove the components. Only remove screws holding
the components in place at this time. Do not remove the screws holding the rails in place; this
may cause damage to the components. Only remove one component at a time.
3. The reusable ganged rails
remain in the mini-rack at this time.
1. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove only 7 screws per side. Keep the removed screws
to install the components in the rack.

recommend placing the top rail pin into the hole just above a National Electrical Manufactures
Association (NEMA) Unit (U) marker.
2. Align the front of the ganged rail as shown below. Insert two retention screws in the front and
back of each rail. See the following illustration.
3. Do not fully tighten the retention screws yet. Allow some adjustment space for the installation of
the components.

Powering the EMC Celerra NS-120 system
For more information, refer to Celerra Tools on http://Powerlink.EMC.com
Power Up procedure for single standby power supply (SPS) system.
Note: Verify that the cabinet circuit breakers are in the ON position. If you are installing the
NS-120 into an existing cabinet that contains other components, do not turn off the cabinet
circuit breakers. Ensure that the switch for SPS A is turned OFF.
Connect the power cables as follows:
A yellow circle with a number indicates the power cable number.
1. Connect power cable from the first disk-array enclosure (DAE) power A to SPS A .
2. Connect power cable from the first DAE power B to the left power distribution panel (PDP).
3. Connect storage processor (SP) power cable A to SPS A.
4. Connect SPS A to the right PDP.
Turn on the SPS A switch.
5. Connect SP B power cable to the left PDP.
Wait for the amber fault LED on each SP to turn off (approximately 3 to 4 minutes).
6. Connect the blade enclosure power cables.
7. Connect the Control Station to the left PDP.
Wait for the control station to power up; this may take 5 to 10 minutes.
