Before You Begin Before setting up your Dell™ PowerVault™ MD32xx RAID enclosure, you must consider certain best practices to ensure that your RAID enclosure operates at maximum efficiency and offers full redundancy (if required). • Throughout the network, always use a Category 5e (or higher) Ethernet cable. • Before connecting any cables between the host server and storage array, physically label each port and connector. • Always follow proper power-up and power-down procedures when cycling power across the network. You must also ensure that critical network components are on separate power circuits.
