Setting Up the Expansion Enclosure
Consider the following best practices when setting up an SCv360 expansion enclosure.
• Before connecting any cables between the expansion enclosure and storage system, physically label each port and connector.
• Always follow proper power-up and power-down procedures when cycling power across the network. Verify that critical network
components are on separate power circuits.
Other Information You May Need
To install the expansion enclosure, you may need the following additional information:
• Dell SCv360 Expansion Enclosure Owner’s Manual
Provides information about an SCv360 expansion enclosure, such as hardware features, replacing hardware components, and
technical specications.
• Dell SCv3000 and SCv3020 Storage System Deployment Guide
Provides information about an SCv3000 series storage system, such as cabling the hardware components and conguring the
storage system using Dell Storage Manager.
• Dell Storage Manager Administrator’s Guide

Installation and Conguration
Before you begin the installation, make sure that the site where you plan to install the expansion enclosure has standard power from
an independent source or a rack power distribution unit (PDU) with a UPS.
Safety Precautions
Always follow these safety precautions to avoid injury and damage to Storage Center equipment.
If equipment described in this guide is used in a manner not specied by Dell, the protection provided by the equipment could be
impaired. For your safety and protection, observe the rules described in the following sections.

information is included as a separate document.
Installation Safety Precautions
Follow these safety precautions when installing an SCv360 expansion enclosure:
Caution
Equipment exceeds 90 kg (200 lb). Use appropriate lifting methods when installing an
SCv360 expansion enclosure.
• You can install the expansion enclosure chassis without using a mechanical lift if you remove the drives, cooling fans, power
supply units (PSUs), and enclosure management modules (EMMs) from the chassis before installing it.
You must use a mechanical lift to install the expansion enclosure chassis if you do not remove the drives, cooling fans, PSUs, and
EMMs from the chassis.
• Dell recommends that only individuals with rack-mounting experience install an SCv360 expansion enclosure in a rack.
3
• When installing multiple expansion enclosures in a rack, ll the rack from the bottom up and empty the rack from the top down.
• The rack construction must support the total weight of the installed expansion enclosures. The design should incorporate
stabilizing features suitable to prevent the rack from tipping or being pushed over during installation or in normal use.
• To prevent the rack from tipping, slide only one expansion enclosure out of the rack at a time.
• Make sure that the expansion enclosure is always fully grounded to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.
• When handling the expansion enclosure components, use an electrostatic wrist guard or a similar form of protection.

1. Identify a location in the rack with 4U of space for the expansion enclosure.
WARNING: If you plan to install the expansion enclosure above the lower 20U of a rack, use a mechanical lift to
avoid injury.
2. If you plan to install the 1U cable management tray below the expansion enclosure, identify a location in the rack with 5U of
space for the expansion enclosure and cable management tray.
