SC7020 and SC7020F Storage Systems Getting Started Guide

Consider the following best practices when setting up an SC7020 series 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.

Laser Radiation for Fibre Channel Storage Systems

CAUTION: Class I laser radiation when open, avoid exposure to beam. WARNING: Laser radiation, avoid direct exposure to beam.

The unit is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR, chapter 1 Subchapter J for Class I (1) laser products, and elsewhere is certified as a Class I laser product conforming to the requirements of IEC 60825-1:2007.

Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The laser system and unit are designed so there is never any human access to laser radiation above a Class I level during normal operation, user maintenance or prescribed service condition.
