Overview of an Initial Installation
1. Unpack the SCSI extenders. Refer to Unpacking a SCSI Extender on page 3-2.
2. Installation varies depending on whether you are installing the SCSI extender in an
enclosure, a rack, or on a table top:
•
For a new installation of SCSI extenders preinstalled in a SCSI extender
enclosure, refer to Installing a SCSI Extender Enclosure. If the enclosures do
not arrive pre-stacked, contact your service provider. The SCSI extenders
might need to be removed for stacking.
To add a SCSI extender to an already installed SCSI Extender enclosure, refer
to Installing a SCSI Extender in an Enclosure or Customer-Provided Rack on
page 3-3. Then, proceed to step 3.

For installation of SCSI extenders in a customer-supplied rack:

b. Installing Mounting Brackets in a Customer-Provided Rack on page 3-2
c. Installing a SCSI Extender in an Enclosure or Customer-Provided Rack on

d. Proceed to step 3.
•
For SCSI extenders to be installed on a table top, proceed to step 3.

SCSI Extenders on page 4-1
