About the SV4000 Storage Vault
The SV4000 Storage Vault is a high performance, high availability data storage appliance that is rack mountable and includes 12 bays for SATA 3.0/6.0 GB hard disk drives (HDDs). This
appliance connects to a DIGIOP® VMS server through a SAS interface controller board (STR-CTRL) installed in the DIGIOP® server chassis. HDDs and fan modules in the SV4000 are easily
accessible for maintenance purposes.
Installation of the SV4000 includes ve main steps (NOTE: If the SV4000 was ordered with a DIGIOP® system, steps C, D and E were completed at the factory):
A. Install the SV4000 chassis into an equipment rack, if preferred. (NOTE: DO NOT power on the SV4000 at this time.)
B. Install HDDs into the SV4000 chassis. HDDs are shipped separately from the chassis for better protection against shock and damage. These drives need to be installed in the chassis before startup.
C. Install the STR-CTRL controller card in the DIGIOP® server. NOTE: The controller card is provided with a full height faceplate for installation in server chassis that accommodate them. A half-height
faceplate is provided for installation in an XE, 780, 790, 7010 or other chassis designed for half-height cards.
D. Install drivers for the STR-CTRL controller in the DIGIOP® system.
E. Congure the DIGIOP® server to use the SV4000 Storage Vault.

Installation - General Guidelines
Select a location where the SV4000 chassis will be installed that is compliant with the following guidelines:
• Install the chassis in a climate-controlled environment with a temperature range of 32 °F to 95 °F (0 °C to 35 °C).
• Install in a moisture-free environment with a humidity range of 20% to 80% (non-condensing).
• Install in a location close enough to the DIGIOP server hardware so that the SAS cable between the two will reach. NOTE: Longer cables are available from your vendor.
• The SV4000 chassis can weigh between 33 lb and 55 lb, depending on the HDD conguration.
• Use an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS).
• Keep away from direct sunlight.
• Install in an area with minimal dust or debris.
When installing the chassis in an equipment rack, follow the instructions provided with the rack mounting kit. When locating the chassis in the rack, provide at least 1 inch of open space above and below for
adequate ventilation.
