Installing a New DX8100 and DX8100HDDI System
When ordered together, the DX8100 or DX8116 and DX8100HDDI units come preconfigured from the factory. The DX8100-ISCI SCSI card is
already installed and the units are ready for installation.
INSTALLING THE UNITS
NOTES:
• When installing the DX8100 and DX8100HDDI units, make sure they are close to one another. The SCSI cable is 3.3 ft long (1 m) and must
easily connect both units.
• Both units are very heavy. Two people are required to lift and carry each unit.
• For rack mount instructions, refer to the installation manual for each unit.
Install the units as follows:
1. Install the DX8100. Refer to the DX8100 Series Digital Video Recorder Installation manual (C2629M).
2. Install the DX8100HDDI. Refer to the Infortrend EonStor A12U-G2421 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual
(ES_A12U_A08U-G2421_HMN), which is located on the DX8100HDDI resource disc.
Once installed, refer to Installing the DX8100HDDI Drive Trays.
INSTALLING THE DX8100HDDI DRIVE TRAYS
The DX8100HDDI has 12 drive bays, one for each drive tray. Figure 8 shows the number for each drive bay.
Figure 8. DX8100HDDI Drive Bays
Each hard disk drive (HDD) is installed in its drive tray at the factory. Some drive trays may not have drives. All trays must be installed in the
DX8100HDDI to maintain proper airflow inside the unit and avoid overheating.
To install the drive trays:
1. Unpack the drive trays.
NOTE: Each drive tray (and HDD) is labeled. The label represents the number of the drive bay where the drive tray must be installed.
2. Flip the retention latch on the front handle, and then open the handle (refer to Figure 9). This gives you access to the left (1, 5, and 9) and
right (4, 8, and 12) drive bays.
