3.3 Items Supplied by the User Table 3-1 lists the additional items you must supply to perform the DSN-3000 series storage system installation. All users must provide the items in the first row of Table 3-1. Thereafter, the additional items required for installation depend on the user category into which you fit. Table 3-1. User-Supplied Items to Perform the DSN-3000 series Storage System Installation User Category User-Supplied Items All Users DSN-3200 Users DSN-3400 Users  A PC with a Network Interface Card (NIC) that will act as the iSCSI initiator. (See Note 1.)  A PC with a NIC and Internet access that will access the management console. (See Note 1.)  One or more available AC outlets not controlled by a wall switch.  Optional: An Ethernet switch and Ethernet cable. If you want to use the DSN-3000 series storage system's Link Aggregation feature, the switch must support LAGs.  An IP address for each DSN-3200 storage system host connection RJ-45 data port that will connect to your SAN.  An Ethernet cable for each DSN-3200 storage system host connection RJ-45 data port that will connect to your SAN (the DSN-3000 series storage system auto-senses the cable type used).  An IP address for the host network (optical) connection.  A single mode or multimode XFP optical cable to connect the host network connection to your SAN. Rack-Mount Users  A standard NEMA-compliant 19-inch rack.  Additional Mounting hardware for specific rack being used. Note 1: For convenience, one PC with three installed NICs can be used instead of separate PCs. In this configuration, one NIC connects to the DSN-3000 series storage system management port, a second NIC connects to the Internet, and a third NIC is used with the iSCSI initiator. 24 Chapter 3 Installing the DSN-3000 series Storage System
