Setting Up the Storage System

Consider the following best practices before setting up your SC7020 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.

Safety Warnings

Electrical disconnection

Indicates that all electrical supply connections to

the storage system must be disconnected before

proceeding.

The following information only applies to Fibre Channel storage systems.

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.

Locating Your Service Tag

Your storage system is identified by a unique Service Tag and Express Service

Code.

The Service Tag and Express Service Code are found on the front of the

system by pulling out the information tag. Alternatively, the information may

be on a sticker on the back of the storage system chassis. This information is

used by Dell to route support calls to the appropriate personnel.

NOTE: The Quick Resource Locator (QRL) code on the information tag

is unique to your system. Scan the QRL to get immediate access to your

system information using your smart phone or tablet.

Other Information You May Need

To install the storage system, you may need the following additional

information.

NOTE: See the safety and regulatory information that shipped with your

Storage Center components. Warranty information is included as a

separate document.

• The Dell Storage Center SC7020 Storage System Deployment Guide

provides information about cabling storage controller hardware

components and configuring a new storage controller using the Storage

Manager Client.

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.

Install the Storage System in a Rack

Install the storage system and other Storage Center system components in a

rack.

Mount the storage system and expansion enclosures in a manner that allows

for expansion in the rack and prevents the rack from becoming top‐heavy.

The SC7020 storage system ships with a ReadyRails II kit. The rails come in

two different styles: tool-less and tooled. Follow the detailed installation

instructions located in the rail kit box for your particular style of rails.

NOTE:

• The storage system and expansion enclosures each require 3U of

rack space for installation.

• Dell recommends using two people to install the rail, one at the front

of the rack and one at the back.

Follow this procedure to install the storage system in a rack.

1. Position the left and right rail end pieces labeled FRONT facing inward

and orient each end piece to seat in the holes on the front side of the

vertical rack flanges.

2. Align each end piece with the top and bottom holes of the desired U

space.

3. Engage the back end of the rail until it fully seats on the vertical rack

flange and the latch clicks into place.

Figure 4. Slide the storage system onto the rails

Figure 5. Tighten the screws

4. Repeat these steps to position and seat the front end piece of the vertical

flange.

If the Storage Center system includes expansion enclosures, mount the

expansion enclosures in the rack. See the instructions included with the

expansion enclosure for detailed steps.

Connect the Power Cables

Connect power cables to the storage system.

1. Make sure that the power switches are in the OFF position before

connecting the power cables.

2. Connect the power cables securely to both power supply/cooling fan

modules in the storage system chassis.

Figure 6. Connect the Power Cables

3. Fasten the velcro strap to the power supply handle to prevent accidental

pulling of the power cable.

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).
