2.3 Enclosure Installation Procedures
Caution An FC60SS enclosure with all component parts installed is too heavy for a single person to safely install
alone into a Rack cabinet. The following procedures describe the installation of an FC60SS
enclosure and highlights any critical co-requisite requirements and good handling practices which we
encourage you to follow so as to ensure that a successful installation is achieved in the easiest manner.
Warning Ensure that you have fitted and checked a suitable anti-static wrist or ankle strap and observe all
conventional ESD precautions when handling FC60SS modules and components.
Avoid contact with Backplane components and module connectors, etc.
2.3.1 Preparation of Site and Host Server
Before you begin, make sure that the site where you intend to set up and use your FC60SS storage
system has the following:
• Standard AC power from an independent source or a rack Power Distribution Unit with a UPS
(universal power supply).
• A host computer with a standard Fibre Channel HBA (host bus adaptor) with the latest BIOS and
drivers. Follow the instructions provided with your HBA and install the HBA and its driver software,
if necessary.
Note: The FC60SS system supports most of the widely used operating systems, however
deployment on Microsoft Windows requires the.inf driver file which is found on the Software
and Manuals CD.
(For Windows Servers: Insert the Software and Manuals CD and install the.inf file.)
2.3.2 Unpacking the Enclosure System
The package contents and unpacking procedure are outlined in Figure 2–2.
The Accessory Box contains the AC power cord(s), a serial communication cord and the Software and
Manuals CD. The Accessory Box Insert contains the adjustable rail slides and hardware parts to rack
mount the enclosure.
