NOTES: If you are installing a new SAN, skip this chapter and go to Chapter 10,

If you are adding components to a pre-existing SAN, see the component’s readme on
the Dell PowerVault Fibre Channel Utilities CD Version 4.0 or the Dell PowerVault Fibre
Channel Update CD Version 4.0 to determine which SAN components need to be
updated.
Before starting an upgrade, always check the File Library on the Dell Web site at

and SAN components.
