5. Install and secure the DS3500 chassis and components in the rack. See the
DS3500 and EXP3500 Rack Installation and Quick Start Guide.
6. Install the storage enclosure in the rack, if you are installing one or more
storage enclosures. Follow the instructions in the DS3500 and EXP3500 Rack
Installation and Quick Start Guide.
7. Cable the DS3500 storage subsystem to the storage enclosures. See
“Connecting storage enclosures to the DS3500” on page 48.
8. Complete one of the following cabling tasks to enable management of the
DS3500 configuration:
v If you are using out-of-band management, cable the DS3500 Ethernet ports
to either the management workstation or the host.
v If you are using in-band management, cable the DS3500 hosts to the host
bus adapters (HBAs) in the hosts. See “Connecting iSCSI hosts to the
DS3500” on page 70.
9. Connect the power cables. See “Cabling the DS3500 and EXP3500 ac power
supplies” on page 77 for models equipped with ac power supply and fan
units or “Cabling the DS3500 and EXP3500 dc power supplies” on page 78 for
models equipped with dc power supply and fan units.
10. Power on the storage enclosure and the DS3500 storage subsystem, using the
procedure in “Turning on the storage subsystem” on page 82.
11. Install the DS Storage Manager host software on the management workstation
(for out-of-band management) or on the host (for in-band management).
For instructions to install the DS Storage Manager V10.77 or earlier, see the
IBM System Storage DS Storage Manager Version 10 Installation and Host Support
Guide. For instructions to install the DS Storage Manager V10.83 or later, see
the IBM System Storage DS Storage Manager Version 10.8 Installation and Host
Support Guide.
12. Check configuration using the Storage Manager host software.
13. Review and complete the procedures in “Performing the health check process”
on page 81.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Guidelines for the handling of static-sensitive devices, such as the DS3500 storage
subsystem and the EXP3500 storage enclosures is provided.
Attention: Static electricity can damage the storage subsystem and other
electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their
static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
v Limit movement, so that static electricity does not build up around you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device in a place where other devices can cause damage.
v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the system unit for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity
from the package and from your body.
