This chapter provides information about the installation and configuration of
the Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000.
Because of the similarities between the tower and the rack-mountable models of
the RA4000, most of this information applies to both models. Therefore, to avoid
repetition, these instructions will be directed generally to the tower model of the storage
system. Where the differences are important, specific instructions are given for each
model.
To take advantage of all features and make sure you have the latest
firmware update, check the Compaq website at www.compaq.com.
