Getting Started With Your System

Before You Begin

NOTE:

Throughout the document, Dell PowerVault MD3600f series storage array

refers to both Dell PowerVault MD3600f and Dell PowerVault MD3620f.

Before setting up your PowerVault MD3600f 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).

• To enable redundancy, two Fibre Channel (FC) host bus adapters (HBA)

must be connected from the host system to the storage array. If

redundancy is not required, only one FC HBA is connected to the storage

array. See the

Support Matrix

for a list of supported HBAs and

Configuring

Fibre Channel With the Dell MD3600f Series Storage Array

for information

about installing HBA drivers. You can download both documents from

support.dell.com/manuals

• 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.

Working With SFP Modules and Fiber Optic Cables

Each storage controller can have up to four FC host ports. A small-form-

factor pluggable (SFP) module is used to connect a host port to a host or

switch. The SFP module is inserted into the port, and then a fiber optic cable

is inserted into the SFP module. The other end of the fiber optic cable is

connected to an optical interface connector either in a FC HBA on a host or a

switch. SFP modules are laser products.

WARNING:

Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting

on system links with laser modules that operate at greater than Class 1 power

levels. Never look into the end of an optical fiber cable or open receptacle.

Guidelines for Using Fiber Optic Cables

• Do not route the cable along a folding cable management arm.

• For devices on slide rails, leave enough slack in the cables so they do not

bend to a diameter of less than 76 mm (3"), or a radius less than

38 mm (1.5"), when extended or become pinched when retracted.

Getting Started With Your System

• Route the cable away from places where it can be damaged by other

devices in the rack cabinet.

• Do not use plastic cable ties in place of the provided cable straps.

• Do not over-tighten the cable straps or bend the cables to a diameter of

less than 76 mm (3") or a radius less than 38 mm (1.5").

• Do not place excess weight on the cable at the connection point. Ensure

that the cable is well supported.

Guidelines for Using SFP Modules

The storage array requires SFP modules. SFP modules convert electrical

signals to optical signals that are required for FC transmission to and from

RAID controller modules. After installing the SFP modules, fiber optic cables

are used to connect the storage array to other FC devices. Before installing

SFP modules and fiber optic cables, read the following information:

• Use only Dell supported SFPs with the PowerVault MD3600f series storage

arrays. Other generic SFPs are not supported and may not work with the

storage arrays.

• The SFP module housing has an integral guide key that is designed to

prevent you from inserting the SFP module incorrectly.

• Use minimal pressure when inserting an SFP module into a FC port.

Forcing the SFP module into a port may damage the SFP module or the

port.

• You can install or remove the SFP module while the port is powered on.

• You must install the SFP module into a port before you connect the fiber

optic cable.

• You must remove the fiber optic cable from the SFP module before you

remove the SFP module from the port.

CAUTION:

When handling static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid

damaging the product from static electricity.

Installation and Configuration

WARNING:

Before performing the following procedure, review the safety

instructions that came with the system.

Unpacking the System

Unpack your system and identify each item with the packing list that shipped

with your system.

Installing the Rails and System in a Rack

Assemble the rails and install the system in the rack following the safety

instructions and the rack installation instructions provided with your system.
