Certain guidelines need to be followed during the installation of the DS3500
storage subsystem and the EXP3500 storage enclosures. Refer to the following
guidelines for better understanding of the procedure.
CAUTION:
or
>18 kg (39.7 lb)
or
18-32 kg (39.7-70.5 lb)
The weight of this part or unit is between 18 and 32 kg (39.7 and 70.5 lb). At
least two people should lift this component (C009).
Attention: A fully configured DS3500 storage subsystem weighs up to 27 kg (60
lb). At least two people should lift the DS3500 storage subsystem from the
shipping box. Before you lift it out of the box, you might want to open the sides of
the shipping box and remove the components from the DS3500 storage subsystem,
so that the storage subsystem is lighter and easier to remove.
Complete the following steps to install the storage subsystem:
1. Review the preparation recommendations. See “Preparing for installation” on
page 28.
2. Prepare the installation site. See “Preparing the site” on page 29.
3. Prepare the rack. See the DS3500 and EXP3500 Rack Installation and Quick Start
Guide.
4. Record the serial number, machine type and model number, and controller
MAC addresses for your DS3500 storage subsystem in “Storage subsystem
and controller information record” on page 184. See Figure 1 on page 2 for the
location of the serial number.
The MAC addresses are labeled near the Ethernet port on each controller.
