Before installing the appliance, you must make sure that the site and the cabinet or rack you plan to use meet the specifications for a StorageGRID appliance.
-
Confirm that the site meets the requirements for temperature, humidity, altitude range, airflow, heat dissipation, wiring, power, and grounding. See the NetApp Hardware Universe for more information.
-
Confirm that your location provides the correct voltage of AC power:
Model Requirement SG100 and SG1000
120 to 240-volts AC
SG110 and SG1100
100 to 240 volts AC
SG5712
120 to 240 volts AC
SG5760
240-volts AC
SG5812
120 to 240-volts AC
SG5860
240-volts AC
SGF6024
120-volts AC
SG6060
240-volts AC
SGF6112
240-volts AC
SG6160

Confirm that your location meets the power requirements for your appliance:
The power supplies in StorageGRID appliances are rated for significantly higher wattages than the StorageGRID appliance hardware uses, even during periods of maximum power consumption. NetApp recommends using the numbers in the following table to determine whether a proposed rack layout that includes StorageGRID appliances is compatible with your rack power budget.

Decide where you are going to install the appliance.
When installing the E2860 or E4000 controller shelf or optional expansion shelves, install hardware from the bottom to the top of the rack or cabinet to prevent the equipment from tipping over. To ensure that the heaviest equipment is at the bottom of the cabinet or rack, install the SG6000-CN or SG6100-CN controller above the E2860 or E4000 controller shelf and expansion shelves.
Before committing to the installation, verify that the cables shipped with an SG6000 or SG6100 appliance, or cables that you supply, are long enough for the planned layout. -
Install any required network switches. See the NetApp Interoperability Matrix Tool for compatibility information.
