WARNING: Installing an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or explosion. Observe the following precautions: • The battery should only be replaced with a battery that is the same or equivalent as the factory installed battery. • Do not attempt to open or service the battery. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire or with household waste.
Worksheet to Record System Information Use the following worksheet to record the information that is needed to install the SCv2000/SCv2020 storage system. Storage Center Information Gather and record the following information about the Storage Center network and the administrator user.
This information is needed to complete the Discover and Configure Uninitialized SCv2000 Series Storage Centers wizard. NOTE: For a storage system deployed with two Ethernet switches, Dell recommends setting up each fault domain on separate subnets.
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server information is optional. The proxy server information is also optional, but it may be required to complete the Discover and Configure Uninitialized SCv2000 Series Storage Centers wizard. Table 5. NTP, SMTP, and Proxy Servers NTP server IPv4 address ___ .

You can find the service tag and Express Service Code on the service luggage tag located next to the front panel display. Alternatively, the information may be on a sticker on the back of the storage system chassis. Dell uses this information to route support calls to the appropriate personnel.
Rack rails (2) Front bezel Installing the Storage System in a Rack Install the SCv2000/SCv2020 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.

a. Lift the locking tab on the rail. b. Push the rail towards the back of the chassis until it locks in place. Determine where to mount the storage system in the rack and mark the location at the front and rear of the rack. NOTE: The storage system and expansion enclosures each require 2U of rack space for installation.
Tighten the screws to secure the chassis into the rack. c. Close the latch on each chassis ear. For more information about installing the storage system, see the Dell Storage Center SCv2000/SCv2020 Storage System Deployment Guide If the Storage Center system includes expansion enclosures, mount the expansion enclosures in the rack.
Figure 5. Front Bezel Insert the left end of the bezel into the securing slot until the release latch snaps into place. Secure the bezel with the keylock. Connecting the Power Cables Connect the power cables to the storage system. Before connecting the power cables, make sure that the power switches on the storage system are in the OFF position.
