Chapter 1
Preparing for an Installation
Use this document to install the 630J storage enclosure. If you are adding the storage
enclosure to an existing storage array, look at the profile for your storage array. The
profile shows information about the number of drives that are supported by your
storage array, such as the following:
•The number of drives that are currently attached to the host
•The number of drives that you are allowed to add to the host
Make sure that your storage array supports adding more drives.
ATTENTION Possible hardware damage – To prevent electrostatic discharge
damage to the storage enclosure, use proper antistatic protection
when handling the components.
Key Terms
environmental services monitor (ESM)
A canister in the storage enclosure that monitors the status of the components. An ESM
also serves as the connection point to transfer data between the storage enclosure and
the host.

Things to Know – Taking a Quick Glance at the
Hardware
ATTENTION Risk of equipment malfunction – To avoid exceeding functional and
environmental limits, install only drives that have been approved by
your supplier. Drives might be shipped but not installed. System
integrators, resellers, system administrators, or users can install drives.
IMPORTANT Each storage enclosure in the storage array must have a minimum of
two drives for proper operation. If an enclosure has fewer than two
drives, a power supply error is reported.
