Salient Fibre Channel Storage System
Assembly as a Tower Unit
The Salient Fibre Channel storage system chassis arrives unassembled. To set up the Fibre
Channel as a tower unit rather than as a rack-mount unit, you will need to install the foot
and the chassis cover. You will then install the two power supplies, the I/O module, the
operator panel, the hard drive assemblies, and the blanking plates. This document contains
instructions for unpacking the various parts of the Fibre Channel storage system, placing the
tower cover and foot onto the chassis, and installing the storage system components.
Unpacking and Orienting the Fibre Channel Chassis
Unpack the Fibre Channel chassis and make sure you have all the components, and then
determine which end of the chassis will be the top of the tower unit.
To unpack and orient the chassis:
1. Open the box containing the Fibre Channel chassis. When you remove the chassis from
the box, it is in the rack-mount position.
1
2. Turn the chassis upright to determine its proper vertical orientation. To determine
which end is the top, you can do the following:
−
Look inside the drive bays and note the docking connector for each drive. When the
chassis is right side up, these docking connectors are on the left side of each drive
bay, as shown in the following figure.
−
When the chassis is in the correct tower position, you can read the labels inside the
back of the chassis (where the power supplies, I/O module, and so on go).
−
The serial number on the front of the chassis (where the drives are inserted) is right
side up.

Unpacking the Tower Kit Components
After you have determined which end is the top of the chassis, carefully unpack the tower kit
components.
To unpack the Fibre Channel tower kit components:
1. Open the box containing the Fibre Channel tower kit components.
2. Carefully slide out the tower cover, which is protected by a layer of protective wrap.
CAUTION All of the tower kit components are contained within the tower kit cover. To ensure that you
do not scratch the surface of the tower cover, leave the protective wrap on until you are ready
to install the cover.
3. The tower foot is held inside the cover with two pieces of Styrofoam. Hold the foot
securely, and remove one of the Styrofoam pieces. Then remove the other piece of
Styrofoam and take the plastic wrap off of the foot.
