Client Backup and Recovery
software on each computer that you want to protect and specify which hard disks or
partitions to back up and how often backups should occur. You must purchase a key
code for each additional system that you intend to back up. The key code for backing
up your system is on the back of the unit.
For information about this step, see “Protecting Local Disks” on page 89.
Setting up the Storage System
Your storage system might come pre-installed with hard drives, or you might need to
purchase and install them yourself. If you have fewer than four hard drives, you might
want to add more now. You can add more disks later, but changing your disk configuration
might cause data loss. For more information, see Appendix A, "Levels of RAID,"
beginning on page 169.
The Intel
®
Entry Storage System SS4000-E supports optional USB devices, such as USB
disks. If you have such devices, you can attach them now, or you can attach them later.
See the Tested Hardware and Operating Systems List at http://support.intel.com/support/
motherboards/server/ss4000-E/ for a list of tested devices.
Whether or not you add hard disks or USB devices, you must connect the storage system
to your network, power it up, and upload the firmware.
Installing the Hard Disks
Before you can use the storage system, at least one SATA hard disk with at least an 80-GB
capacity must be installed. The Intel
®
Entry Storage System SS4000-E does not ship with
any hard disks installed.
Important: The Intel
®
Entry Storage System SS4000-E supports hot swapping of hard disks. However,
you should back up data before replacing any hard disks.
Important: An empty drive carrier with baffle MUST be fitted in ALL unused drive bays.There is
inadequate drive cooling if any drive bays are left open.
1. Observe all safety and ESD precautions listed in Appendix H, “Safety Information”.
2. If powered up, power down the system by pressing the power button on the front of
the system.
3. Press the green latch at the end of the drive carrier to disengage the drive carrier from
the storage system. Pull out on the black lever to slide the drive carrier out of the
storage system.
