This chapter presents the basics on unpacking the VTrak A3800 and mounting it in an equipment rack,
connecting it to the SAN Metadata network and the Fibre Channel data network, and connecting the power. It
also describes how to power on the system and what to look for while it is powering up.
The sections in Hardware Setup include the following:
• “UnpackingtheVTrak”
• “Rack-mountingtheVTrakenclosure”
• “MetadataandManagementnetworkconnections”
• “ConnectingaVTrakJBOD”
• “Connectingtheenclosurepower”
• “TurningontheVTrak”
The VTrak A3800 is shipped with hard drives installed, so this chapter does not cover installing hard drives.
Please see “Appendix A” for a description on how to remove and install hard disks.
Note
To avoid the possibility of injury – or damage to the unit
– you may want to remove the drive carriers from the
enclosure before installing it in to a rack in order to reduce
the weight.
