Cabling the storage system

After installing the storage system in a rack, connect the SCSI cables and power

SCSI cabling guidelines

Always be sure that the servers attached to the storage system are powered down

IMPORTANT: Before installing the Smart Array Multipath software on a
server with a Microsoft® operating system, connect only one of the

Leave the second SCSI cable for the redundant path disconnected until
after the multipath software is installed.
