2.1. Installation Overview
CAUTION:
Please note that the installation instructions described in this manual should be
carefully followed. Failure do to so may result in damage to the system.
2.2. Installation Prerequisites
1. Static- free installation environment: The SR controller must be installed in a static
free environment to minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage. (See Section 2.3.2).
2. Component check: Before the SR controller is installed, you should confirm that you
have received all the components on the Unpacking List during the unpacking
process. (See Section 2.5 )
3. Memory modules: Modules must be separately purchased and installed. (See Section
2.7)
4. Hard drives: SCSI-320 hard drives must be purchased separately prior to installation
of the SR controller.
5. Cabling: All the SCSI cables that are used to connect the SR controller to the host
and drives must be purchased separately. (See Section 4.2.1)
2.3. Safety Precautions
2.3.1 General Considerations
♦ Power source: Make sure the power source is within the correct power range prior to
powering on.
♦ Earth: Always make sure the controller has a safe electrical earth connection via the
power cords or chassis ground on the rack/cabinet.
♦ Ventilation: Be sure that the rack cabinet provides sufficient ventilation channels
and airflow circulation throughout the enclosure in which the SR controller is
installed.
