Setting Up the Storage System Consider the following best practices when setting up an SCv2000/SCv2020 storage system. • Dell recommends that you use a dedicated SAN network for data transmission when using a Fibre Channel or iSCSI storage system. • Complete the Worksheet to Record System Information in this guide before configuring the 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.
WARNING: Installing an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or explosion. Observe the following precautions: • The battery should only be replaced with a battery that is the same or equivalent as the factory installed battery. • Do not attempt to open or service the battery. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire or with household waste. Contact the local waste disposal agency for the location of the nearest battery deposit site.
Worksheet to Record System Information Use the following worksheet to record the information that is needed to install the SCv2000/SCv2020 storage system. Storage Center Information Gather and record the following information about the Storage Center network and the administrator user. Table 1. Storage Center Network Service Tag ________________ Management IPv4 address (Storage Center management address) ___ . ___ . ___ . ___ Top Controller IPv4 address (Controller 1 MGMT port) ___ . ___ . ___ .
iSCSI Fault Domain Information For a storage system with iSCSI front-end ports, gather and record network information for the iSCSI fault domains. This information is needed to complete the Discover and Configure Uninitialized SCv2000 Series Storage Centers wizard. NOTE: For a storage system deployed with two Ethernet switches, Dell recommends setting up each fault domain on separate subnets.
(4-port I/O card only) IPv4 address for storage controller module 2: port 4 ___ . ___ . ___ . ___ Additional Storage Center Information The Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server information is optional. The proxy server information is also optional, but it may be required to complete the Discover and Configure Uninitialized SCv2000 Series Storage Centers wizard. Table 5. NTP, SMTP, and Proxy Servers NTP server IPv4 address ___ . ___ . ___ .

Locating Your Service Tag Your storage system is identified by a unique service tag and Express Service Code. You can find the service tag and Express Service Code on the service luggage tag located next to the front panel display. Alternatively, the information may be on a sticker on the back of the storage system chassis. Dell uses this information to route support calls to the appropriate personnel. Figure 1. Service Tag Locations 1. Service luggage tag 2.
Installation and Configuration Before you begin installation, make sure that the site where you plan to install the storage system has standard power from an independent source or a rack power distribution unit with a UPS. In addition, verify that there is space in the rack to install the storage system. Unpacking Storage Center Equipment Unpack the storage system and identify the items in your shipment. Figure 2. SCv2000/SCv2020 Storage System Components 1. Documentation 2. Storage system 3.
a. Lift the locking tab on the rail. b. Push the rail towards the back of the chassis until it locks in place. 2. Determine where to mount the storage system in the rack and mark the location at the front and rear of the rack. NOTE: The storage system and expansion enclosures each require 2U of rack space for installation. 3. Position the rails at the marked locations and extend the rails to fit the rack. 4.
Figure 4. Mount the SCv2000/SCv2020 Storage System Chassis 7. Secure the storage system chassis to the rack using the mounting screws within each chassis ear. a. Lift the latch on each chassis ear to access the screws. b. Tighten the screws to secure the chassis into the rack. c. Close the latch on each chassis ear. For more information about installing the storage system, see the Dell Storage Center SCv2000/SCv2020 Storage System Deployment Guide 8.
Figure 5. Front Bezel 2. Insert the left end of the bezel into the securing slot until the release latch snaps into place. 3. Secure the bezel with the keylock. Connecting the Power Cables Connect the power cables to the storage system. 1. Before connecting the power cables, make sure that the power switches on the storage system are in the OFF position. 2. Connect the power cables to the power supplies in the storage system chassis. Figure 6. Power Cables 3.
4. Plug the other end of the power cables into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU).
