care when opening drawers and removing drive carriers. Electrical disconnection Indicates that all electrical supply connections to the storage system must be disconnected before proceeding. Battery pack warning Remove the battery pack before removing a storage controller from the storage system. WARNING: Installing an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or explosion.
Worksheet to Record System Information Use the following worksheet to record the information that is needed to install the SCv2080 storage system. Storage Center Information Gather and record the following information about the Storage Center network and the administrator user.
NOTE: For a storage system deployed with two Ethernet switches, Dell recommends setting up each fault domain on separate subnets. See the Dell Storage Center SCv2080 Storage System Deployment Guide for information about setting up iSCSI fault domains. Table 3. iSCSI Fault Domain 1 Target IPv4 address ___ .

Your storage system is identified by a unique service tag and Express Service Code. You can find the service tag on the back of the storage system chassis. Dell uses this information to route support calls to the appropriate personnel.
Always follow these safety precautions to avoid injury and damage to Storage Center equipment. If equipment described in this section is used in a manner not specified by Dell, the protection provided by the equipment could be impaired. For your safety and protection, observe the rules described in the following sections.
(back pressure created by rack doors and obstacles not to exceed 5 Pascals [0.5 mm water gauge]). Unpacking Storage Center Equipment Unpack the storage system and identify the items in your shipment. Figure 2. SCv2080 Storage System Components Hard Drives Storage system Rack rails (2)

Installing the Storage System in a Rack Install the SCv2080 storage system and other Storage Center system components in a rack. NOTE: Mount the storage system in a manner that allows for expansion in the rack and prevents the rack from becoming top‐heavy.
Hard drives are connected to the backplane of the drawers using Disk Drive in Carrier (DDIC) hard drive carriers. The minimum number of drives for an SCv2080 storage system is 28, which is one full, front row in the top drawer and one full, front row in the bottom drawer.

Populate each row with identical drives. Do not mix types, speeds, or sizes in a single row. Open the top drawer. CAUTION: If the storage system operates for too long (depending on altitude) with a drawer open, the storage system may overheat, causing a power failure and data loss.
Page 15
2. Top drawer CAUTION: If the DDIC fails to latch, do not use it and request a replacement from Dell Technical Support. If a faulty DDIC unlatches within a closed drawer, it can make the drawer unable to be opened.
Repeat the previous steps for the bottom drawer, populating the first row with 14 drives. To maintain proper airflow, populate the remaining rows in the following order: Top drawer middle row Bottom drawer middle row Top drawer back row Bottom drawer back row Connecting the Power Cables Connect the power cables to the storage system.
