Before You Begin

Before setting up your Dell™ PowerVault™ MD32xx RAID enclosure,

you must consider certain best practices to ensure that your RAID enclosure operates at maximum efficiency and offers full redundancy (if required).

•Throughout the network, always use a Category 5e (or higher) Ethernet cable.

•Before connecting any cables between the host server and storage array, physically label each port and connector.

•Always follow proper power-up and power-down procedures when cycling power across the network. You must also ensure that critical network components are on separate power circuits.

Other Documentation and Media You May Need

WARNING: See the safety and regulatory information that shipped with your system. Warranty information may be included within this document or as a separate document.

NOTE: All PowerVault MD32xx documents are available at support.dell.com/manuals.

•The rack documentation included with your rack solution describes how to install your system into a rack.

•The Owner’s Manual provides information about system features and describes how to troubleshoot the system and install or replace system components.

•The Deployment Guide provides information about installing and configuring the software and hardware.

•The CLI Guide provides information about using the command line interface (CLI) to configure and manage your storage array.

Installation and Configuration

WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the system.

Unpacking the System

Unpack your system and identify each item with the packing list that shipped with your system.

Installing the Rails and System in a Rack

Assemble the rails and install the system in the rack following the safety instructions and the rack installation instructions provided with your system.

NOTE: To balance the weight load, it is recommended that you install the PowerVault MD32xx at the bottom of the rack and the PowerVault MD12xx expansion enclosures above it.

Getting Started With Your System		7

Connecting the Power Cable(s)

Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting the power cables. Connect the system’s power cable(s) to the system.

Securing the Power Cable(s)

Secure the cable(s) firmly to the bracket using the provided strap.

Plug the other end of the power cables into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU). Each power supply must be connected to a separate power circuit.
