Setting Up the Storage System

Consider the following best practices before setting up your SC7020 storage

system.

•

Dell recommends that you use a dedicated SAN network for data

transmission when using a Fibre Channel or iSCSI storage system.

•

Always configure redundant data paths to provide alternate paths to and

from the host server should one of the data paths become disabled.

•

Before connecting any cables between the storage system and host server

or expansion enclosure, physically label each port and connector.

•

Always follow proper power-up and power-down procedures when

cycling power across the network. Verify that critical network components

are on separate power circuits.

NOTE: This product is intended for restricted access locations, such as a

dedicated equipment room or equipment closet.

WARNING: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the

operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be

greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration

should be given to installing the equipment in an environment

compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified

by the manufacturer.
