EonStor DS S12/S16/S24 Series Hardware Manual
2 Hardware Installation
This chapter describes how to install modular components, such as hard drives and
CBM, into the chassis. Before the installation, confirm that you received all
components using the Unpacking List included in the package.
NOTE
Installation into a rack or cabinet should occur BEFORE hard drives are installed into
the subsystem.
2.1 Installation Prerequisites
Static-free installation environment: The subsystem must be installed in a
static-free environment to minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage.
Component check: Before installing the subsystem, check to see that you have
received all the required components. If there are item(s) missing or appear
damaged, contact your vendor for a replacement.
Hard drives: SAS/SATA hard drives must be purchased separately and be
available prior to installing the subsystem.
Cabling: All the cables that connect the subsystem to the hosts must be
purchased separately. Refer to 3 System Connection for sample topologies and
config
uration options. Contact your vendor or Infortrend for the list of compatible
cables.
Memory modules: If you wish to change the pre-installed DIMM module, you can
find DIMM replacement procedures in 5.2 Replacing the Memory Module.
CBM
: If you wish to install CBM (BBU and/or FBM), the CBM should be installed
prior to powering on the subsystem. See 1.4.4 CBM (Cache Backup Module) for
RAID Models to find out which model contains CBM by default.
Rack inst
allation: The rack slide rails are optional accessories and if purchased,
please refer to the “RAID Enclosure Slide Rail Kit Installation Guide” that came
with the slide rails.
