SCv3000 and SCv3020 Storage System Getting Started Guide

Setting Up the Storage System

Consider the following best practices when setting up an SCv3000 and SCv3020 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.
