Getting Started With Your System

Before You Begin

NOTE:

Throughout the document, Dell PowerVault MD3200 series storage array

refers to both Dell PowerVault MD3200 and Dell PowerVault MD3220. Dell

PowerVault MD1200 series expansion enclosure refers to both Dell PowerVault

Before setting up your Dell PowerVault MD3200 series storage array, you must

consider certain best practices to ensure that your storage array operates at

maximum efficiency and offers full redundancy (if required).

• Throughout the network, always use a Category 5e (or higher)

Ethernet cable.

• Before connecting any cables between the host server and storage array,

physically label each port and connector.

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

power across the network. You must also ensure that critical network

components are on separate power circuits.
