You install a new drive shelf or a previously installed
drive shelf, turn on the power, and check for any LEDs that require
attention.
- If you are installing a drive
shelf that has previously been installed in a storage system, remove
the drives. The drives must be installed one at a time later in this
procedure.
If the installation history of the drive shelf that you are
installing is unknown, you should assume that it has been previously
installed in a storage system.
- Install the drive shelf in the
rack that holds the storage system components.
Attention: See the installation
instructions for your model for the full procedure for physical installation
and power cabling. The installation instructions for your model include
notes and warnings that you must take into account to safely install
a drive shelf.
- Power on the new drive shelf,
and confirm that no amber attention LEDs are illuminated on the drive
shelf. If possible, resolve any fault conditions before you continue
with this procedure.
