Setting Up the Expansion Enclosure

Before setting up your SCv300/SCv320 expansion enclosure, consider the following best practices.

• Before connecting any cables between the storage system and 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.

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) specied by the manufacturer.
