Install hardware (SG100 and SG1000)
Register hardware
Registering the appliance hardware provides support benefits.
Steps
1. Locate the chassis serial number for the appliance.
You can find the number on the packing slip, in your confirmation email, or on the appliance after you
unpack it.
2. Go to the NetApp Support Site at mysupport.netapp.com.
3. Determine whether you need to register the hardware:
If you are a… Follow these steps…
Existing NetApp customer a. Sign in with your username and password.
b. Select Products > My Products.
c. Confirm that the new serial number is listed.
d. If it is not, follow the instructions for new NetApp
customers.
New NetApp customer a. Click Register Now, and create an account.
b. Select Products > Register Products.
c. Enter the product serial number and requested
details.
After your registration is approved, you can
download any required software. The approval
process might take up to 24 hours.
Install appliance into a cabinet or rack (SG100 and SG1000)
You must install a set of rails for the appliance in your cabinet or rack, and then slide the
appliance onto the rails.
What you’ll need
•You have reviewed the Safety Notices document included in the box, and understand the precautions for
moving and installing hardware.
•You have the instructions packaged with the rail kit.
Steps
1

1. Carefully follow the instructions for the rail kit to install the rails in your cabinet or rack.
2. On the two rails installed in the cabinet or rack, extend the movable parts of the rails until you hear a click.
3. Insert the appliance into the rails.
4. Slide the appliance into the cabinet or rack.
When you cannot move the appliance any further, pull the blue latches on both sides of the chassis to slide
the appliance all the way in.

Do not attach the front bezel until after you power on the appliance.
Cable appliance SG100 and SG1000
You must connect the management port on the appliance to the service laptop and
connect the network ports on the appliance to the Grid Network and optional Client
Network for StorageGRID.
What you’ll need
•You have an RJ-45 Ethernet cable for connecting the management port.
•You have one of the following options for the network ports. These items are not provided with the
appliance.
◦One to four TwinAx cables for connecting the four network ports.
◦For the SG100, one to four SFP+ or SFP28 transceivers if you plan to use optical cables for the ports.
◦For the SG1000, one to four QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceivers if you plan to use optical cables for the
ports.
Risk of exposure to laser radiation — Do not disassemble or remove any part of a SFP or
QSFP transceiver. You might be exposed to laser radiation.
About this task

The following figures show the ports on the back of the appliance.
SG100 port connections
SG1000 port connections
Port Type of port Function
1 BMC management port
on the appliance
1-GbE (RJ-45) Connects to the network where you
access the BMC interface.
2 Four network ports on the
appliance
•For the SG100: 10/25-
GbE
•For the SG1000:
10/25/40/100-GbE
Connect to the Grid Network and the
Client Network for StorageGRID.
3 Admin Network port on
the appliance (labelled P1
in the figures)
1-GbE (RJ-45)
Important: This port
operates only at 1000
baseT/full and does not
support 10- or 100-
megabit speeds.
Connects the appliance to the Admin
Network for StorageGRID.

Port Type of port Function
Rightmost RJ-45 port on
the appliance
1-GbE (RJ-45)
Important: This port
operates only at 1000
baseT/full and does not
support 10- or 100-
megabit speeds.
•Can be bonded with management
port 1 if you want a redundant
connection to the Admin Network.
•Can be left disconnected and
available for temporary local access
(IP 169.254.0.1).
•During installation, can be used to
connect the appliance to a service
laptop if DHCP-assigned IP
addresses are not available.
Steps
1. Connect the BMC management port on the appliance to the management network, using an Ethernet
cable.
Although this connection is optional, it is recommended to facilitate support.
2. Connect the network ports on the appliance to the appropriate network switches, using TwinAx cables or
optical cables and transceivers.
The four network ports must use the same link speed. See the following tables for the
equipment required based on your hardware and link speed.
SG100 link speed (GbE) Required equipment
10 SFP+ transceiver
25 SFP28 transceiver
SG1000 link speed (GbE) Required equipment
10 QSA and SFP+ transceiver
25 QSA and SFP28 transceiver
40 QSFP+ transceiver
100 QFSP28 transceiver
◦If you plan to use Fixed port bond mode (default), connect the ports to the StorageGRID Grid and
Client Networks, as shown in the table.
Port Connects to…
Port 1 Client Network (optional)
5

Port Connects to…
Port 2 Grid Network
Port 3 Client Network (optional)
Port 4 Grid Network
◦If you plan to use the Aggregate port bond mode, connect one or more of the network ports to one or
more switches. You should connect at least two of the four ports to avoid having a single point of
failure. If you use more than one switch for a single LACP bond, the switches must support MLAG or
equivalent.
3. If you plan to use the Admin Network for StorageGRID, connect the Admin Network port on the appliance
to the Admin Network, using an Ethernet cable.
Connect power cords and apply power (SG100 and SG1000)
After connecting the network cables, you are ready to apply power to the appliance.
Steps
1. Connect a power cord to each of the two power supply units in the appliance.
2. Connect these two power cords to two different power distribution units (PDUs) in the cabinet or rack.
3. If the power button on the front of the appliance is not currently illuminated blue, press the button to turn on
power to the appliance.
Do not press the power button again during the power-on process.
4. If errors occur, correct any issues.
5. Attach the front bezel to the appliance if removed.
