13. Turn on the power to the attached storage expansion enclosure and the
DS5020 storage subsystem using the procedure described in “Powering on the
storage subsystem” on page 97.
14. Install the DS Storage Manager host software on the management workstation
(for out-of-band management) or on the host (for in-band management).
Depending on the controller firmware version for your subsystem, refer to the
following guides for instructions that describe how to install the DS Storage
Manager software:
v IBM System Storage DS Storage Manager Version 10 Installation and Host
Support Guide (for storage subsystems with controller firmware version
earlier than 7.8x.xx.xx)
v IBM System Storage DS Storage Manager Version 10.8 Installation and
Host Support Guide (for storage subsystems with controller firmware version
7.8x.xx.xx or later)
15. Use the DS Storage Manager host software to verify the configuration.
16. Review and perform the procedures described in “Performing the DS5020
Health Check process” on page 95.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. 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 (ESD), observe the following
precautions:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to 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 where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
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 two seconds. This drains static electricity
from the package and from your body.
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit
without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it in its
static-protective package. Do not place the device on your system unit cover or
on a metal table.
v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather because heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
Preparing for installation
Before installing the DS5020 storage subsystem, create a detailed plan of how this
unit will be used in your storage configuration. The plan might include determining
RAID levels, failover requirements, operating systems to be used, and total storage
capacity requirements.
The following illustration shows the items that you need to install the DS5020
storage subsystem in the rack cabinet. If any items are missing or damaged,
contact your place of purchase.
