Important:
All caution and danger statements in this documentation begin with anumber. This
number is used to cross reference an English caution or danger statement with
translated versions of the caution or danger statement in the IBM Safety Information
book.
For example, if acaution statement begins with anumber 1, translations for that
caution statement appear in the IBM Safety Information book under statement 1.
Be sure to read all caution and danger statements in this documentation before
performing the instructions. Read any additional safety information that comes with
your server or optional device before you install the device.
Statement 1:
DANGER
Electrical current from power, telephone, and communication cables is
hazardous.
To avoid ashock hazard:
vDo not connect or disconnect any cables or perform installation,
maintenance, or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical
storm.
vConnect all power cords to aproperly wired and grounded electrical
outlet.
vConnect to properly wired outlets any equipment that will be attached to
this product.
vWhen possible, use one hand only to connect or disconnect signal
cables.
vNever turn on any equipment when there is evidence of fire, water, or
structural damage.
vDisconnect the attached power cords, telecommunications systems,
networks, and modems before you open the device covers, unless
instructed otherwise in the installation and configuration procedures.
vConnect and disconnect cables as described in the following table when
installing, moving, or opening covers on this product or attached
devices.

vSetting up and cabling the storage subsystem
vStarting and configuring the storage subsystem
vInstalling options and removing and replacing components
The storage subsystem documentation might be updated occasionally to include
information about new features, atranslated version of the documentation might be
available in your language, or technical updates might be available to provide
additional information that is not included in the storage subsystem documentation.
These updates are available from the IBM Web site. To check for updated
documentation and technical updates, complete the following steps:
1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/.
2. On the “Support for TotalStorage products” page, under Select your product,in
the Product family field, select Disk storage systems.
3. In the Product field, select DS300 Disk System or DS400 Disk System.
4. Click Go.
5. Under Technical resources,select Documentation.
Record information about the storage subsystem in Table 9on page 83. You will
need this information if you need to call for service.
Use Table 10 on page 83 to keep arecord of the options that are installed in or
attached to the storage subsystem. This information can be helpful when you install
additional options or if you need to report ahardware problem.
For alist of supported options for the storage subsystem, see the ServerProven
®
Web site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/.

where eis the drive letter of the CD drive, and click OK.
–If you are using Red Hat Linux, insert the CD into the CD drive; then, run the
following command from the /mnt/cdrom directory:
sh runlinux.sh
Select your storage subsystem from the Product menu. The Available Topics list
displays all the documents for the storage subsystem. Some documents might be in
folders. Aplus sign (+) indicates each folder or document that has additional
documents under it. Click the plus sign to display the additional documents.
When you select adocument, adescription of the document appears under Topic
Description.To select more than one document, press and hold the Ctrl key while
you select the documents. Click View Book to view the selected document or
documents in Acrobat Reader or xpdf. If you selected more than one document, all
the selected documents are opened in Acrobat Reader or xpdf.
To search all the documents, type aword or word string in the Search field and
click Search.The documents in which the word or word string appears are listed in
order of the most occurrences. Click adocument to view it, and press Crtl+F to use
the Acrobat search function or Alt+F to use the xpdf search function within the
document.
