Install hardware |Stage 2
Unpack the Hardware
Unpack the contents and inventory the contained hardware against
the packing slip. Read through all the instructions before proceeding.
Install the Rails
Refer to the enclosed instructions for detailed information
on how to install the rails. To download the instructions, go
to Lenovo Data Center Support Web site.
NOTE: Install hardware from the bottom of the rack up to
the top to prevent the equipment from toppling over.
Install the Shelf
Secure the Shelf
1. Insert screws into the first and third holes from
the top of the shelf on both sides to secure it to
the front of the cabinet.
2. Place two back brackets on each side of the upper
rear section of the shelf. Insert screws into the first
and third holes of each bracket to secure theback
of the cabinet.
Install the Drives
2. Starting at the front left slot of the top drawer, install each drive by gently
positioning into the drive slot and lowering the raised drive handle until it
clicks into place.
1. Wrap the strap end of the ESD wristband around your wrist, and
secure the clip end to a metal ground to prevent static discharges.
NOTE: If you are installing fewer than 60 drives, if you have
solid-state drives (SSDs), or if your drives have dierent capacities:
Maintain a minimum of 20 drives per shelf. Install drives in the front four
slots in each drawer first, for adequate airflow for cooling.
Distribute any remaining drives across the drawers. If possible, install an
equal number of each type of drive in each drawer to allow for the creation
of Drawer Loss Protected volume groups or disk pools.
Distribute any SSDs evenly across the drawers.
2. Supporting the shelf from the bottom, slide it into
the cabinet. If the lift handles are used, remove them
one set at a time as the shelf slides into the cabinet.
To remove the handles, pull back on the release latch,
push down, then pull away from the shelf.
1. If lifting the shelf by hand, attach the four lift handles.
Push up on each handle until it clicks into place.

Team Lift
CAUTION: An empty shelf weighs approximately
132 lb (60 kg). A mechanized lift or four people using lift
handles are required to safely move an empty shelf.
3. Carefully slide the drawer back in by pushing the center
and gently closing both latches.
4. Attach the front bezel.

CAUTION: Confirm the drive shelf power switches are o.
3. Turn on the two power switches on the controller shelf.
4. Check the LEDs and seven-segment display on each controller.
During the boot sequence, the seven-segment display will display
various codes. After the controller has booted up, the shelf ID
will be displayed.
1. Connect the two power cables for each shelf to dierent
power distribution units (PDUs) in the cabinet or rack.
2. If you have drive shelves, turn on their two power switches
first. Wait 2 minutes before applying power to the controller shelf.

Cable the Data Hosts
Cable the system according to your network topology.
Direct-attach topology
Option Connect each host adapter directly to the host ports on the controllers.
IP address: 192.168.128.101
IP address: 192.168.128.100
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
1. Using an Ethernet cable, connect to controller A port 1 (P1). to the ethernet port on
your laptop.

2. Manually specify the following IP address and subnet mask on the laptop’s
Ethernet port that you have physically connected to the storage array:
Fabric topology
Option
Connect each host adapter directly to the switch.
Connect each switch directly to the host ports on the controllers.

Connect and Configure the Management Connection
3. Use the laptop’s browser to access the storage array’s management
software using the following IP address:
After Installing the Hardware
1. Use the ThinkSystem SAN OS software to configure and manage your storage arrays.
2. In the simplest network configuration, connect your controller to a web browser and use
ThinkSystem System Manager for managing a single DE-series storage array.
3. In a more complex environment, use the ThinkSystem SAN Manager for managing multiple
storage arrays.
4. In the management software, go to the Hardware tab and select Show back of shelf
under Controller Shelf. Highlight controller B, and then select Configure management
ports to set the IP addresses for management port 1 on controller B. Do not configure
management port 2. This port is reserved for Lenovo technical support. After you
have configured controller B’s management port, repeat for controller A.
5. Disconnect your laptop from the storage array and connect an Ethernet cable
to management port 1 (labeled P1) on each DE4000H and DE6000H controller
and connect the other end to your network.
