Electrostatic Discharge Information
A discharge of static electricity can damage static-sensitive devices. Proper packaging
and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. To prevent
electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
• Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or
boxes.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free
stations.
• Use a wrist strap connected to the work surface and properly-grounded tools and
equipment.
• Keep the work area free of non-conductive materials such as foam packing
materials.
• Make sure you are always properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

Chapter 1 Overview
How to Use This Guide
This guide provides information and assistance to system or network administrators
preparing for the installation of a SnapServer storage system on their network. Every
network topology is different, and every administrator works with different goals and
resources. Using this guide, administrators can determine what additional hardware
components or software packages to acquire before the server arrives.
Hardware Components
SnapServers come with the hardware required to install the server into an EIA-
compliant rack (if applicable), as well as the cables required to connect the server to a
power source and to an Ethernet network. Other hardware required for a basic
installation, such as Ethernet switches, racks, and UPS devices, must be supplied by
the administrator from third-party vendors.
Some advanced configurations involving expansion arrays or direct-attached tape
backup may require the separate purchase of SAS, SCSI, or FC-HBA cards from an
authorized Overland Storage reseller. The hardware checklists in this guide show the
required and optional hardware components available for each SnapServer model.
Software Components
SnapServers also come with native support for partner-vendor software packages that
enhance or extend the functionality and security of SnapServers. These packages
include antivirus, backup, and administrative software. SnapServers are also
compatible with a number of widely-used third-party backup solutions.
This guide briefly describes these software packages and provides information on
upgrade procedures. For full descriptions and specifications, see the SnapServer,
partner-vendor, or third-party vendor Web sites as appropriate.
