System Features

This section describes the major hardware and software features of your system. It also provides
information about other documents you may need when setting up your system and how to obtain
technical assistance.

Major features of your system include:

• Efficient rack-mount designed storage system

• Capacity for 15 1-inch, hot-plug, 3.0-Gbps, serial-attached SCSI (SAS) and/or Serial Advanced
Technology Attachment II(SATA II) physical disks

• SAS 5/E adapter for connecting the storage array to the server(s)

NOTE: System boot is not supported from an external device attached to a SAS or SCSI adapter,

including SAS 5/E, PERC 5/E, PERC 4e/DC, or PERC 4/DC. See support.dell.com for the latest support
information about booting from external devices.

• Redundant hot-plug power supply and cooling modules that are combined for easy serviceability

• Two active/active RAID controller modules for redundant data and system management capability

• Support for up to two daisy-chained storage enclosures for a total of 45 physical disks

• Configuration and monitoring via the MD Storage Manager software

• Four sensors for monitoring ambient temperatures

• Battery backup unit (BBU) to power the RAID controller system memory (cache) in case of
a power outage

• Over-temperature shutdown capability

• Support for a wide range of servers (See your system’s readme file for supported systems.
An updated readme can be viewed from the Dell website at

support.dell.com.

Installation and Configuration

CAUTION: Before performing the following procedure, read and follow the safety instructions and important

regulatory information in your Product Information Guide.

This section describes the steps to set up your system for the first time.

4 Getting Started With Your System

Unpacking the System

Unpack your system and identify each item.

Keep all shipping materials in case you need them later.

Installing the Rails and System in a Rack

Once you have read the "Safety Instructions" located in the rack installation documentation

for your system, install the rails and the system in the rack.

See your rack installation documentation for instructions on installing your system in a rack.

Getting Started With Your System 5

Connecting the Power Cables

Connect both power cables to the power supply/cooling fan modules.

Attaching the Power Cord Retention Bracket

Attach the power cord retention bracket to the power supply loop by affixing the back clasp of the

bracket to the top of the loop and the middle clasp to the vertical middle of the loop. Attach the
system power cable to the bracket’s cable clasp. Repeat the procedure for the second power supply.

Plug the other end of the power cables into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source

6 Getting Started With Your System

Turning on the System

Power on the system by turning on both power supply/cooling fan modules.

Installing the Bezel

Install the bezel (optional) by inserting the right edge of the bezel into the right front loop on the
system, and then pressing the left edge of the bezel to the system until the bezel snaps into place.
