Falcon II SCSI-SATA Installation and Hardware Reference Manual
2. Install an optional BBU: If an optional BBU has been separately
purchased, it should be installed prior to operating the subsystem. (See
Section 2.7)
3. Rack/Cabinet installation: If the subsystem is going to be installed in a
rack or cabinet, it should be installed prior to installing the hard drives.
Installing the subsystem into a rack or cabinet requires at least two (2)
people. (See Section 2.10)
4. Install dongle kits: If you wish to use PATA hard drives in your
subsystem, you must purchase the SATA-to-PATA dongle kits and
install them separately. (See Section 2.8.2)
5. Install hard drives: Separately purchased SATA-I, SATA-II, or PATA
hard drives must be individually installed into the drive trays. (See
Section 2.8)
6. Install drive trays: After the hard drives have been installed into the
drive trays, the drive trays must be installed into the enclosure itself.
(See Section 2.9)
7. Cable connection: Use the power cables that came with the subsystem
to connect the subsystem to the main power source. Use the provided
SCSI cable to connect a host port to the host computer or an external
device.
8. Power up: Once the components have been properly installed and all
cables are properly connected, you can power up the subsystem and
configure the RAID array. (See Section 4.4)
