Installing your VSP E590 and VSP E790 storage
system
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform E590 and E790 storage systems are designed for self-
installation, so you can install and set up your storage system for the rst time without
assistance from a Hitachi Vantara representative.
Make sure your data center meets all site preparation requirements before you install
the storage system. If you are not using a Hitachi Universal V2 or Universal V2B rack,
make sure the electrical specications of your rack meet the power requirements of the
storage system.
Step 1: Unpack the storage system
Procedure
1. Inspect all materials for signs of damage. If you see damage, discontinue the
installation and contact your Hitachi Vantara representative.
2. Loosen the band around the cartons and open all boxes. Remove all packing
materials, envelopes, and boxes from the cartons.
3. Retain all packing materials and cartons in case you need to transport or ship the
storage system in the future.
4. Check the items you received against the packing list. If any items are missing or
damaged, discontinue the installation and contact your Hitachi Vantara
representative.
5. Place the keys for the front bezel in a safe place. You will need them to attach the
bezel to the front of the controllers.
6. If your storage system arrived already factory-installed in a rack, skip step 2 and
proceed to step 3 (on page 7) .
Step 2: Install the storage system into a rack
Mount the controller into the Hitachi Universal V2 or Universal V2B rack or into a 4-post
EIA 310-D compliant 19-inch rack with square mounting holes and rear-facing power
distribution units (PDUs).
