Hardware Installation
2.1. Installation Overview
This chapter gives detailed instructions on how to install hard disk drives and drive trays
into the subsystem. Installation into a rack or cabinet should occur before hard drive
installation. Please confirm that you received all of the components listed on a printed
copy of Unpacking List included in the shipping package before proceeding with the
installation process.
2.2. Installation Pre-requisites
1. Static-free installation environment: The subsystem must be installed in a static-
free environment to minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage. (See Section 2.3) Use of anti-static wristband and static-control devices
such as ionizers, is recommended.
2. Component check: Before installing the subsystem, you should confirm that you
have received all of the required components by checking the package contents
against the Unpacking List.
3. Memory modules: If you wish to change the pre-installed memory modules, it is
preferred that you install the separately purchased modules during the initial
installation stage. (See Section 2.6.2)
4. Hard drives: Up to 24 hard drives have been pre-integrated into drive trays. On the
rare occasion that a drive needs to be replaced, use this procedure. (See Section 2.7)
5. Cabling: All optical FC cables and SFP transceivers are user-supplied and should be
purchased separately. (See Chapter 4)
