The rack rail needs to be attached to the rack and the controller enclosure or the drive enclosure needs to be

installed.

Installation in a Rack

STEP

Configuration Guide (Basic)

Controller Enclosures and Drive Enclosures (2.5" type/3.5" type)

●Drive enclosures must be installed above

the controller enclosure. When installing

multiple drive enclosures, install them in the

order of the "DE_No. label" numbers that are

attached to the drive enclosures.

The DE_No. labels are attached on the

locations that are shown in the figure on the

right.

●The center of gravity must be taken into

consideration to prevent a rack from toppling

over. The controller enclosure and drive

enclosures should generally be installed from

bottom to top to lower the center of gravity

and to ensure the safe use of racks.

Various cables need to be connected to the ports on the rear of the ETERNUS DX.

Cable Connection

STEP

●To help with cable management and prevent incorrect connection, attach labels to the cables and make a

note of connection origins and destinations.

●This step describes dual controller type as an example. Note that there is only controller 0 (CM#0) for single

controller type.

Point

●The cables should never be bent, twisted or pulled.

●Some cables have static-sensitive electronic components. Wear an anti-static wrist strap or touch a metal

part to discharge the static electricity on your body before starting each operation. Failure to discharge static

electricity before touching the connectors may cause a device failure.

IMPORTANT

3. Install and fasten the high-density drive enclosure in the rack, and then attach the front cover.

Attach the cable management arm in the rear.

For safety and stability, use a lifter to install or remove high-density drive enclosures in the rack.

interface port and the server.

To display the screen to set the port parameters

(example for iSCSI Port):

Click the [Connectivity] tab, and then click [iSCSI]

under [Port Group] in [Category]. Select the checkbox

for the iSCSI port to set the port parameters for on the

[iSCSI Port] screen and then click [Configure iSCSI Port]

in [Action].

3. Port group creation

Create a port group for a host to access the ETERNUS

DX.

To display the screen to create a port group (example

for iSCSI Port):

Click the [Connectivity] tab, click [Port Group] in

[Category], and then click [Create iSCSI Port Group] in
