PS Series Storage Arrays
PS5000 Hardware Installation
Before You Begin
Environment
Be sure the site meets the array power and cooling requirements described in the PS5000 QuickStart.
Networking
Standard Ethernet and TCP/IP networking rules apply to a PS Series SAN.
Gigabit Ethernet is recommended for optimal performance. If using multiple switches, they must have inter-switch links.
Hardware Requirements
In addition to the hardware described in Step 1, you need:
-Standard 19” two or four-pole rack.
-One to six network cables. Copper-based networks require Cat 5E or Cat 6 cables with RJ45 connectors.
2. Install the array in a rack.
Mount the array in a two-pole or four-pole 19” rack. Instructions for rack assembly and mounting an array are included with each assembly kit in the array shipping box.
Air flow and ventilation. Be sure there is sufficient space for air flow in front of and behind the array. The location of the array must be properly vented.
Stabilize rack. It is recommended that you attach the rack to the floor for added stability.
Support array. Be sure to support the array until it is completely mounted in the rack.
Four-Pole Rack Installation
1. Unpack the PS Series shipping box.
Be sure you have all the necessary hardware, including the network cables and rack, which are not included in the box.
A PS5000 supports Type 4 control modules (gray faceplate) for use with SAS disks (black disk release button), and Type 5 control modules (olive faceplate, as shown in this poster) for use with SATA disks (gray disk release button).
The array is heavy! Do not attempt to lift it without assistance.
Protect sensitive hardware. When handling the chassis, disks, and control modules, be sure to use an electrostatic wrist strap.

Instructions for assembly installation and racking are included in each kit.
Two-Pole, Mid-Mount Rack Installation
Non-Windows installation. If you will not be configuring the SAN from a Microsoft
Windows
system, you must connect the serial cable (shipped with the array) to a console terminal and run the setup utility to configure the SAN. See the PS Series QuickStart for details.
3. Connect the array power cables.
At this point, power cables are only for grounding purposes. Be sure to use the cable strain relief to secure each power cable to the array.
High availability. Connect each power supply to its own circuit. Wait! Do not turn on power to the array at this time.
