Step 3: Install Array in Rack
Install Rack Tray
1. Install the screw clips on the inside of the square-holed
rack rails as shown in the graphics to the right.
Three on the right and two on the left.
2. Install the Right tray rail:
a. Position the rail with the front flange (labeled RF for
Right Front) outside the rack rail and the bottom hole at
the bottom of the 2U space.
b. Use two gold screws to secure it.
c. Repeat Steps a–b to secure the rear flange (label RR
for Right Rear).
3. Repeat Step 2 for the Left tray rail (LF and LR).
Insert Array in Rack
WARNING: It is recommended that a mechanical lifter (or at
least two people) be used during rack installation or removal
to prevent injury.
AVERTISSEMENT: Pour éviter toute blessure il est
recommande qu'un monte-charge (ou deux personnes au
moins) soit utilisé lors de l'installation ou de l'enlèvement du
support.
1. Use a mechanical lifter to position the S1000 chassis in
front of the rack.
2. Slide the unit onto the rack tray until it stops.
3. Use three black screws in the front flange holes to secure
the unit to the vertical rack rails.
Step 4: Install the Drives
Drive Bay Numbering
The drives can be installed into any unused bay in the chassis.
IMPORTANT: Install drive assemblies into each of bays 1
through 4 (shaded bays in graphic) as the system event logs
are saved on those drives. Otherwise, event logs will no longer exist
after a reboot.
NOTE: While drives having different capacities can be installed in
the unit, they should be installed as part of different RAID sets
because capacity usage of all the drives in a RAID set is limited to
the capacity of the smallest drive in that set.

Install Drives
NOTE: Do not remove the disk drives from their carriers. Doing so
voids the drive warranty.
As shipped, the first four bays are empty and the remaining
bays have blank drive carriers in them. Once the unit is in the
rack, install the drives before continuing:
1. If a blank drive carrier is in the bay where you are about
to install a drive, remove the blank by pressing the lever
release button and pulling it out.
Save the blank for possible future use.
2. Press the button to release the lever on a drive assembly.
3. Position the drive assembly in front of an empty bay and
slide it in until resistance is felt.
4. Push the lever in to lock the assembly in the bay.
5. Repeat Steps 1–4 for each remaining drive assembly.
IMPORTANT: To maintain proper airflow and cooling, a drive
assembly or a blank drive carrier must be installed in every
bay. Leave drive blanks in bays not used; no empty bays are allowed.
Attach the Bezel
1. Insert the bezel tab into the chassis left flange hole under
the Front Panel Display.
2. Push the latch toward the bezel center, swing the right
side of the bezel into place against the drives, and release
the latch.
Step 5: Attach Cables and Power Cords
Connection Planning
Use this checklist to help you plan the incorporation of your SnapSAN S1000 into your Management and SAN networks.
Management Setup
• IP address – DHCP (default) used or Static IP address set.
• Switch connections – One (or two on a dual controller system) Management ports (RJ45) to connect to the
Management network.
Host Connections
The number of available connections for both the single and dual controllers are shown. Dual controllers double the number
of connections available.
Type Single Controller Dual Controller Connection to Host
Fibre Channel Two 4Gb (SFP) Four 4Gb (SFP) Fibre switch
1Gb iSCSI Four 1Gbs (RJ45) Eight 1Gbs (RJ45) 1Gb Ethernet switch
10Gb iSCSI Two 10Gbs (SFP+) Four 10Gbs (SFP+) 10Gb Ethernet switch
SAS Two 6Gbs (SFF-8088) Four 6Gbs (SFF-8088) SAS switch or connected directly to host

Attach Network Cables
CAUTION: The speed/duplex setting of the S1000 defaults to
autonegotiate. The switch to which the unit is connected must
also be configured to autonegotiate; otherwise, network throughput
or connectivity to the array may be seriously impacted.
Follow these steps for each controller:
1. Plug the management connection into the Management
port (4) using a Category 5e (or better) cable.
Connect the S1000 Management port to a 1Gb or better
Ethernet switch on the same LAN as the management
system.
2. Connect all iSCSI or Fibre Channel cables between the
controller network ports (7) and the switch.
If SFP modules for Fibre Channel or SFP+ modules for
10Gb iSCSI are used, refer to the instructions that come
with them on how to install them.
3. For iSCSI controllers, it is recommended that a iSNS
server be connected to the same LAN as the switch.
4. If an APC UPS with Smart-UPS is used, plug the supplied
UPS cable into the Smart-UPS port on the Master
controller and the other end into the APC serial cable
attached to the UPS.
5. If one or more SnapDisk™E1000 expansion arrays are
used, connect the top of the chain to the SAS expansion
port on the Master controller.
NOTE: Additional E1000s can be daisy-chained off the last of
any previously connected E1000 arrays. Refer to the E1000
documentation for details.
Setup Examples
These examples show ways to set up a single- or dual-controller system. While these diagrams are basically for the 1Gb
iSCSI controller, they are generalizations and can be used for the 10Gb iSCSI, Fibre Channel, and SAS controllers too.
NOTE: For dual controllers, plug the Secondary controller into a surge-protected power strip.
