Introduction
CAUTION: See the Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information document for important safety information before
following any procedures listed in this document.
An enclosure containing physical disk drives accessed through Enclosure Management Modules (EMMs) is called a storage enclosure. A
storage enclosure includes various hardware components such as physical disk drives, EMMs, fans, and Power Supply Units (PSUs). One
or more host servers attached to the storage enclosure can access the data on the storage enclosure. You can also establish multiple
physical network paths between the hosts and the storage enclosure so that loss of any single path (for example, through failure of a host
server port) does not result in loss of access to data on the storage enclosure.
The storage enclosure is managed by the Storage Enclosure Management software running on a host server. On the host server system,
the management software and the storage enclosure communicate management requests and event information by using in-band SAS
connections.
• Storage Enclosure—When the MD3060e is attached to a server directly or other MD3060e enclosures, it is referred to as a Storage
Enclosure. This document applies to the deployment and conguration of the MD3060e as a Storage Enclosure.
• Expansion Enclosure—When the MD3060e is used as an expansion with an MD3 (MD32/MD34/MD36/MD38) Series Dense Storage
Array, it is referred to as an Expansion Enclosure. To use the MD3060e as an Expansion Enclosure, see the Dell PowerVault MD Series
Support Matrix Storage for either the MD32XX/36XX or MD34XX/38XX Series arrays available at Dell.com/support/manuals.
The deployment process includes:
• Hardware installation
• Initial system conguration
• Storage Enclosure Management Software installation
NOTE: For more information about product documentation, see Related Documentation available at Dell.com/support.
The Storage Enclosure Management Software tools enable an administrator to monitor and update the storage enclosure for optimum
usability. The Storage Enclosure Management Software is supported on various Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems (OSs).
For more information about specic supported OSs, refer to the Dell Storage Enclosure Support Matrix at Dell.com/support/home.

System requirements
Before installing and conguring the PowerVault MD3060e hardware and software, ensure that the supported OS is installed and minimum
system requirements are met. For more information, see Dell Storage Enclosure Support Matrix at Dell.com/support/home.
NOTE: Dell supports Linux host OS with the MD3060e storage enclosure. For more information on the specic OSs supported
by MD3060e storage enclosure, see Dell Storage Enclosure Support Matrix at Dell.com/support/home.
NOTE: Dell only supports the Windows Storage Spaces when purchased as the DSMS 3060e. For information about the DSMS
3060e, see Dell.com/dsmsmanuals.

Hardware Installation
Before using this guide, ensure that you review the instructions in the:
•MD3060e Getting Started Guide — Provides an overview of system features, setting up your system, and technical specications. This
document is also shipped with your system.
•Dell Storage PowerTools Server Hardware Manager Administrator’s Guide — Provides information about how to congure, manage,
and update your MD3060e Storage Enclosure. This document is available online at dell.com/support/manuals.
• The Rack Installation instructions — Provides information on how to rack your system. This document is shipped with your system.
Topics:
• Connecting the storage enclosure
• Cabling the storage enclosure
• Windows with Storage Spaces conguration
• Linux
Connecting the storage enclosure
The storage enclosure is connected to hosts by using one or both of the two EMMs (Enclosure Management Modules). The EMMs are
identied as EMM 0 and EMM 1. The ports on the EMMs and their functions are listed here:

1 EMM 0 — Enclosure Management Module 2 SAS Host Ports — Allows you to connect host servers to
the storage enclosure.
3 Ethernet Port — Not used. 4 SAS OUT Port — Enables the Storage Enclosure to be
connected to another Storage Enclosure
5 EMM 1 — Enclosure Management Module
Cabling the storage enclosure
There are a number of methods to cable the Dell Storage MD3060e series storage enclosure to host servers and to additional Dell Storage
MD3060e series storage enclosures. The particular conguration selected depends on storage capacity, level of resiliency of both the
server and storage enclosure, and the OS being used.
NOTE: The maximum supported SAS cable length is 4 m.
Windows with Storage Spaces conguration
NOTE: Dell only supports the Windows Storage Spaces when purchased as the DSMS 3060e. For information about the DSMS
3060e, see Dell.com/dsmsmanuals.
Linux
There are three types of congurations supported for Linux host servers:
• Single Path conguration: This uses a simplied cabling scheme, but does not provide redundancy or fault-tolerance. Use this when the
OS or a higher-level application is being used for data resiliency.
• Symmetric Multipath conguration: This uses a cascading conguration that provides path redundancy, but does not provide against
enclosure loss.
• Asymmetric Multipath conguration: This uses a high availability conguration that allows the host server to reach any enclosure if a
path or single enclosure is lost
Hardware Installation 7
For multipath congurations, Linux Device Mapper Multipath (DMMP) must be congured. Dell recommends Failover policy. To ensure
proper functionality, verify the following values are set in /etc/multipath.conf:
•path_grouping_policy failover
•failback manual
NOTE: For more information about supported Linux OSs, see the
Dell Storage Enclosure Support Matrix
available at Dell.com/
support.
