Chapter 1. Introduction The IBM® TotalStorage® DS300 and DS400 Hardware Maintenance Manual contains basic information, such as specifications and symptom lists, about the IBM TotalStorage DS300 and DS400 storage subsystems. You can use this information to perform basic hardware maintenance and resolve problems on your storage subsystem. You can also use this information to complete the tasks given in the problem determination procedures provided in the IBM TotalStorage DS300 Problem Determination Guide and DS400 Problem Determination Guide. Each Problem Determination Guide is an interactive document that is available on the IBM support Web site: http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-56887 Note: The component information that is provided in the maintenance portion of this document has been extracted from the individual installation and user's guides for each component. Therefore, you might find it helpful to see the individual installation and user's guides for specific components. The storage subsystem documentation might be updated occasionally to include information about new features, a translated version of the documentation might be available in your language, or technical updates might be available to provide additional information that is not included in the storage subsystem documentation. These updates are available from the IBM Web site. Complete the following steps to check for updated documentation and technical updates: 1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/. 2. On the "Support for TotalStorage products" page, under Select your product, in the Product family field, select Disk storage systems. 3. In the Product field, select DS300 Disk System or DS400 Disk System. 4. Click Go. 5. Under Technical resources, select Documentation. For a list of supported options for the storage subsystem, go to the ServerProven® Web site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/. See the Rack Installation Instructions that comes with the storage subsystem for complete rack installation and removal instructions.
