Before you begin
□ Create a Dell EMC Online Support account:
dell.com/support. You will need this account later in the
installation process to activate software licenses and
configure Secure Remote Services.
□ Obtain the help of a second person to install the
enclosure into the rack or use a mechanical lift.
□ If you have more than one enclosure to install, use the
Unity 480/480F, 680/680F, 880/880F Installation and
Service Guide to complete your installation. The guide
includes racking and cabling instructions required for
additional enclosures, which are not covered here. The
Unity 480/480F, 680/680F, 880/880F Installation and
Service Guide is located on http://bit.ly/unityinfohub.
□ Download the Connection Utility at
http://bit.ly/unityinfohub. You need this utility to
assign static IP addresses to your system.
You do not need this utility if you plan to use DHCP to
automatically assign IP addresses to your system.
□ If you are installing your system in a location with
restricted internet access, download the Connection
Utility and your license files before starting the
installation process: http://bit.ly/unityinfohub.
□ Refer to the What’s next section for important details
about adding enclosures and using the Unisphere Online
Help.
