Setting Up the Storage System

Consider the following best practices when setting up an SCv2080 storage system.

• Dell recommends that you use a dedicated SAN network for data transmission
when using a Fibre Channel or iSCSI storage system.

• Complete the Worksheet to Record System Information in this guide before
configuring the storage system.

• Always configure redundant data paths to provide alternate paths to and from
the host server should one of the data paths become disabled.

• Before connecting any cables between the storage system and host server or
expansion enclosure, 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.

NOTE: This product is intended for restricted access locations, such as a
dedicated equipment room or equipment closet.

WARNING: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient
temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

Safety Warnings

Heavy weight warning

A fully configured SCv2080 storage system weighs up
to 130 kg (287 lb). An unpopulated storage system
weighs 62 kg (137 lb). Use appropriate lifting methods
when installing the storage system.

High temperature warning

The operating temperature inside the drawers of a
storage system can reach up to 60°C (140°F). Take

care when opening drawers and removing drive
carriers.

Electrical disconnection

Indicates that all electrical supply connections to the
storage system must be disconnected before
proceeding.

Battery pack warning

Remove the battery pack before removing a storage
controller from the storage system.

WARNING
explosion. Observe the following precautions:

• The battery should only be replaced with a battery that is the same or

• Do not attempt to open or service the battery. Do not dispose of the

Laser Radiation for Fibre Channel Storage Systems

The unit is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR,
chapter 1 Subchapter J for Class I (1) laser products, and elsewhere is certified as a
Class I laser product conforming to the requirements of IEC 60825-1:2007.

Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The laser system and unit
are designed so there is never any human access to laser radiation above a Class I
level during normal operation, user maintenance or prescribed service condition.

: Installing an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or

equivalent as the factory installed battery.

iSCSI Fault Domain Information

For a storage system with iSCSI front-end ports, gather and record network
information for the iSCSI fault domains. 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.

See the Dell Storage Center SCv2080 Storage System Deployment Guide for
information about setting up iSCSI fault domains.

Fibre Channel Zoning Information

For a storage system with Fibre Channel front-end ports, record the physical and
virtual WWNs of the Fibre Channel ports in Fault Domain 1 and Fault Domain 2. This
information is displayed on the Review Front-End page of the Discover and
Configure Uninitialized SCv2000 Series Storage Centers wizard. Use this
information to configure zoning on each Fibre Channel switch.

See the Dell Storage Center SCv2080 Storage System Deployment Guide for
information about setting up Fibre Channel zoning.
