Hardware installation
Modular Disk Storage Manager (MDSM) software installation

Other information includes system requirements, storage array organization, and utilities.
NOTE: For more information on product documentation, see dell.com/support/manuals.
MDSM enables an administrator to configure and monitor storage arrays for optimum usability. The
version of MDSM included on the PowerVault MD series resource media can be used to manage both the
Dell PowerVault PowerVault MD3800f and MD3820f systems and the earlier PowerVault MD series
