Installation procedure
Add the capacity blocks one at a time, until the system contains the maximum it can hold. The
factory pre-provisions the additional capacity blocks with the standard LUN layout and capacity
block settings (for example, rebuild priority). Parity is initialized on all LUNs. The LUNs arrive blank.
IMPORTANT: You can add a capacity block to a new installation or to an existing system. The
existing system can be either online or offline; however, it might be necessary to reboot the blades
to make the new storage visible to the cluster.
Step 1—Install X9700c in the cabinet
WARNING! The X9700c is heavy; therefore, observe local occupational health and safety
requirements and guidelines, such as using two people to lift, move, and install this component.
