Installation
This chapter provides instructions for installing
necessary components of the Accusys RAID system,
as well as upgrades you may wish to install to your
system.
Basic Installation
Before your RAID system is ready to be connected and powered on, you must
do the following:
• Install the hard disk drives.
• Install the Re-drive card in the host server.
Pre-installation Notices
Before starting any kind of hardware installation, please
ensure that all power switches have been turned off and
all power cords disconnected to prevent personal injury
and damage to the hardware.
To avoid overheating, the RAID system should be
installed in a well-ventilated area and in such a way that
sufficient airflow is maintained across the card chips.
