Dell Storage with Microsoft Storage Spaces Deployment Guide

PDF

Installing the storage enclosures into the rack space

  • NOTE: For weight stability, always load the rack by using a bottom-up approach.
Before you begin, read through the following documentation:
  • Rack installation instructions shipped with your storage enclosure.
  • Dell PowerVault MD3060e or Dell Storage MD1400 Series Getting Started Guide
  • Dell PowerVault MD3060e or Dell Storage MD1400 Series Owner’s Manual
  1. Ensure that there is enough contiguous available rack space in the rack for your solution. For information about required rack space, see the required rack space matrix in Rack space.
  2. Install the storage enclosures into the rack one on top of the other. Ensure that you follow the Rack installation instructions shipped with your storage enclosure.
  3. Connect and secure the power cables to each storage enclosure following guidance from the Getting Started Guide or Setup Guide for your storage enclosures.
  4. To ensure each storage enclosure has a redundant power source, power cables in each storage enclosure must be plugged into a separate power source such as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU).
    • NOTE: Do not turn on the storage enclosures at this time. The storage enclosure will be turned on at a later stage in the deployment process.
