3.5 Installing the xStack Storage Array without a Rack When installing the xStack Storage Array on a desktop or shelf, allow enough ventilation space between the xStack Storage unit and any other objects in the vicinity. In particular, be sure not to block the air vents on the front and back of the xStack Storage Array enclosure. Install the cables and power cord according to the procedures in the following sections. 3.6 Installing the xStack Storage Array in a Rack The xStack Storage Array can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. Use the following procedure, along with the documentation for the rack, to install the xStack Storage unit in a rack. The rack cabinet must provide sufficient airflow to the front and back of the xStack Storage unit to maintain correct cooling. It must include ventilation sufficient to exhaust the heat generated by equipment installed in the rack. 1. Be sure the xStack Storage Array is turned off and its two power cords are not attached to the unit. 2. Attach the mounting hardware to the left and right sides of the xStack Storage Array. Refer to the documentation for your mounting hardware and rack. 3. With the assistance of another person, hold the xStack Storage unit in place in the rack and secure with the mounting hardware. Refer to the documentation for your mounting hardware and rack. 4. Install the cables and power cords according to the procedures in the following sections. 3.7 Connecting to the xStack Storage DSN-2100 Host Network Connection Ports The DSN-2100 host network connections consist of four RJ-45 data ports. These ports connect to your SAN using either a straight-through or cross-over RJ-45 Ethernet cable (the xStack Storage Array auto-senses the type of cable used). You will need one cable for each RJ-45 data port you want to connect to your SAN. To connect the DSN-2100 RJ-45 host network connections to your SAN, use the following procedure: 1. Attach either end of an Ethernet cable to host network connection port 0 on the xStack Storage unit's back panel 2. To connect additional DSN-2100 RJ-45 host network connections to your SAN, repeat step 1 using another Ethernet cable and the next available xStack Storage port in sequence (port 1, then port 2, and so on). Do not skip ports when making these connections. 30 Chapter 3 Installing the xStack Storage Array

When installing the xStack Storage Array on a desktop or shelf, allow enough ventilation space
between the xStack Storage unit and any other objects in the vicinity. In particular, be sure not to
block the air vents on the front and back of the xStack Storage Array enclosure. Install the cables
and power cord according to the procedures in the following sections.
3.6
Installing the xStack Storage Array in a Rack
The xStack Storage Array can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. Use the following procedure,
along with the documentation for the rack, to install the xStack Storage unit in a rack.
The rack cabinet must provide sufficient airflow to the front and back of the
xStack Storage unit to maintain correct cooling. It must include ventilation
sufficient to exhaust the heat generated by equipment installed in the rack.
1.
Be sure the xStack Storage Array is turned off and its two power cords are not attached to the
unit.
2.
Attach the mounting hardware to the left and right sides of the xStack Storage Array. Refer to
the documentation for your mounting hardware and rack.
3.
With the assistance of another person, hold the xStack Storage unit in place in the rack and
secure with the mounting hardware. Refer to the documentation for your mounting hardware
and rack.
4.
Install the cables and power cords according to the procedures in the following sections.

Connecting to the xStack Storage DSN-2100 Host Network Connection Ports
The DSN-2100 host network connections consist of four RJ-45 data ports. These ports connect to
your SAN using either a straight-through or cross-over RJ-45 Ethernet cable (the xStack Storage
Array auto-senses the type of cable used). You will need one cable for each RJ-45 data port you
want to connect to your SAN.
To connect the DSN-2100 RJ-45 host network connections to your SAN, use the following
procedure:
1.
Attach either end of an Ethernet cable to host network connection port 0 on the xStack
Storage unit’s back panel
2.
To connect additional DSN-2100 RJ-45 host network connections to your SAN, repeat step 1
using another Ethernet cable and the next available xStack Storage port in sequence (port 1,
then port 2, and so on). Do not skip ports when making these connections.
