DescriptionCallout

Connects controller 1, DP-B (Red) to newly installed I/O module B, port P2 (closest to controller enclosure)1

Connects I/O module B (Red), port P2 to I/O module B, port P1 between newly installed disk enclosures2

Connects existing I/O module B, port P2 (bottom of rack) to topmost, newly installed I/O module B,

port P1

Connects topmost, newly installed I/O module A, port P1 to bottom existing I/O module A, port P24

Connects I/O module A (Red), port P2 to I/O module A, port P1 between newly installed disk enclosures5

Connects controller 2, DP-A to newly installed I/O module A, port P2 (closest to controller enclosure)6

3. Using a cable provided in your kit, plug one end into the P1 port on I/O module B of the newly

installed disk enclosure closest to the controller enclosure and plug the other end into the P2 port

of I/O module B of the other newly installed disk enclosure above it (2, Figure 10 (page 8)).

NOTE: Cables qualified for use are from 0.5 meters (1 foot 7 inches) to 6.0 meters (19 feet 8

inches) long. Use whichever cable is most suitable for your configuration.

4. Using a long cable, plug one end into the P2 port of I/O module B on the existing disk enclosure

at the bottom of the rack and plug the other end into the P1 port of I/O module B on the topmost,

newly installed disk enclosure (3, Figure 10 (page 8)).

5. Unplug the cable between DP-A on controller 2 and I/O module A P2 on the existing disk enclosure

at the bottom of the rack. Using a long cable, connect the P1 port of I/O module A on the topmost,

newly installed disk enclosure to the P2 port of I/O module A on the existing disk enclosure at

the bottom of the rack (4, Figure 10 (page 8)).

6. Connect the P2 port of I/O module A on the topmost, newly installed disk enclosure to the P1

port of I/O module A on the other newly installed disk enclosure directly below it (5,

Figure 10 (page 8)).

7. Plug one end of a cable into DP-A of controller 2 and plug the other end into the P2 port of I/O

module A on the newly installed disk enclosure directly above the controller enclosure (6,

Figure 10 (page 8)).

8. Using a power cord provided in your kit, plug one end into a disk enclosure power supply and

the other end into a rack power distribution module.

9. With the remaining power cord, connect the other power supply to a rack power distribution

module.

10. Press the Power On/Standby button on the power UID bezel (located at the rear of the disk

enclosure) and hold it down long enough to power up the installed enclosure.

11. Power on any other disk enclosures attached to the array and visually check that the enclosures

power on without errors. Wait at least one minute after all the enclosures are powered on for the

drives to spin up and stabilize.

12. Power on the controller enclosure by pressing the power button on the power UID bezel until the

enclosure responds (it may take up to 10 seconds for the controller enclosure to power on). Wait

five minutes for the array to stabilize.
