Chapter 2: Installation
Step 2. Install an optional BBU: a battery backup unit is highly
recommended for its protection to data integrity. It should be
installed prior to operating the subsystem. (See Section 2.8)
Step 3. Rack/Cabinet installation: If the subsystem is going to be installed
in a rack or cabinet, it should be installed prior to installing the hard
drives. Installing the subsystem into a rack or cabinet requires at
least two (2) people.
Step 4. Install hard drives: Separately purchased SATA-II hard drives
must be individually installed into the drive trays. (See Section 2.9)
Step 5. Install drive trays: After the hard drives have been installed into the
drive trays, the drive trays must be installed into the enclosure itself.
(See Section 2.10)
Step 6. Cable connection: Use the power cords that came with the
subsystem to connect the subsystem to the main power source. Use
self-purchased SCSI cables (see Chapter 4 for more details) to
connect host ports to servers.
Step 7. Power up: Once the components have been properly installed and
all cables are properly connected, you can power up the subsystem
and configure the RAID array. (See Section 4.4)
