Installing the hardware

Hardware installation entails installing the appliance into a cabinet or rack, connecting the cables, and applying power.

Steps

  1. Registering the hardware
    Registering the appliance hardware provides support benefits.
  2. Installing the appliance in a cabinet or rack
    You must install rails in your cabinet or rack and then slide the appliance onto the rails. If you have an SG5760, you must also install the drives after installing the appliance.
  3. Cabling the appliance
    You must connect the two controllers to each other, connect the management ports on each controller, and connect the 10/25-GbE ports on the E5700SG controller to the Grid Network and optional Client Network for StorageGRID Webscale.
  4. Connecting power cords and applying power
    When you apply power to the appliance, both controllers boot up.
  5. Viewing boot-up status codes
    The seven-segment displays on each controller show status and error codes as the appliance powers up.
