Getting Started With Your System 5
Before You Begin
Before setting up your Dell™ PowerVault™ MD32xx RAID enclosure,
you must consider certain best practices to ensure that your RAID enclosure
operates at maximum efficiency and offers full redundancy (if required).
• Throughout the network, always use a Category 5e (or higher)
Ethernet cable.
• Before connecting any cables between the host server and storage array,
physically label each port and connector.
• Always follow proper power-up and power-down procedures when cycling
power across the network. You must also ensure that critical network
components are on separate power circuits.
