Site planning
Successful installation of the storage system requires careful planning. Proper planning
will help provide for a more ecient installation and greater reliability, availability, and
serviceability.
All planning activities should be scheduled and completed before the equipment is
delivered.
The planning process includes:
■Planning hardware conguration, such as system component layout in the rack and
drive allocation.
■Planning for specic network topologies, cabling congurations, network switches,
and cabling of connected host computers.
■Ensuring all cables for specic controller and drive tray conguration are properly
ordered.
■Selecting key personnel to handle the delivery and installation of the system.
■Verifying all electrical service wiring are installed at the predetermined location.
Complete the suggested tasks before receiving and installing the storage system.:
■Prepare a preliminary layout of the installation.
■Review the power and the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC)
requirements before ordering any additional support equipment.
■Work with a Hitachi Vantara representative and review the order of storage system
and cables are correct.
■Make a nal layout of the installation and review the layout with the Hitachi Vantara
representative.
■Verify the installation of electrical service wiring at the predetermined location is
proper before installing the storage system.
■Verify all additional equipment, such as switches and host computers, is installed and
operational.
