Before You Start
IMPORTANT Be sure you have completed all of the following site
and configuration preparations before you attempt to set up your
FC4700 system.
1. Confirm that electrical wiring is in place at your facility to
accommodate the cabinet’s two 240-volt ac power cables. To
support all of the FC4700 high-availability features, you must
connect each power outlet to a different circuit.

Before You Start (continued)
2. Verify that your facility has adequate network wiring for your
sub-network (subnet) connections. To manage the storage
system, each storage processor (SP) requires a separate network
connection.
3. If your environment includes switches on the path between the
FC4700 and the hosts (servers) that have access to it, make sure
the switches are installed. Refer to the device-specific
installation manuals for each switch.
4. Verify that the Standby Power Supplies (SPSs), Disk Processor
Enclosure (DPE), and any optional Disk Array Enclosures
(DAEs) are installed in your cabinet. If necessary, refer to the
appropriate cabinet, rail, or device hardware installation
documentation you received with your system.
5. Have the network administrator at your facility set up IP
addresses for the FC4700 and complete the worksheet provided
in Step 1 on page 5.
6. Make sure that the latest revisions of Navisphere®Manager and
Event Monitor are installed on the Windows®2000 or Windows
NT®host you will use as the Navisphere management station.
Refer to the EMC Navisphere Manager Administrator’s Guide,
EMC Navisphere Event Monitor Administrator’s Guide, and the
appropriate Release Notes as necessary.

Step 2
Verify Power Supply Settings
1. Remove the disk drive fan pack.
2. Confirm that the power switch on each power supply behind the
fan pack is on, then replace the fan pack.

Step 3
Confirm the Standby Power Supply (SPS) Connections
In most cases, standby power supplies are connected to the storage
processors prior to shipment. Verify that your FC4700 SPS connections
are correct and fully seated.
1. Standby power supply A (SPS-A) connects to the lower serial port
(COM2) of SP-A.
2. Standby power supply B (SPS-B) connects to the lower serial port
(COM2) of SP-B.

Step 4
Start the FC4700
1. Plug the two 240-volt ac power cables into the power outlets in
your facility. We recommend connecting each power cable to a
different branch circuit. Both power cables must be connected to
the appropriate power supply. Connecting only one power source
will degrade the FC4700’s performance.
2. Turn on the circuit breakers on each of the cabinet’s side power
strips.
3. Turn on the power switch on each standby power supply.
If warning lights appear on the front of the DPE, make sure the system is
correctly cabled and then refer to the fault code explanations in Chapter 4
of the FC4700 Hardware Reference. If you cannot determine any reasons
for errors, contact your FC4700 service provider. (Operators with valid
contracts can contact EMC Customer Service at USA (800) 782-4362,
Canada (800) 543-4782, or worldwide (508) 497-7901.)

Step 5
Initialize the FC4700
Initializing the FC4700 requires a directly connected computer -—
usually a laptop model —that we refer to as a service laptop.
IMPORTANT The following guidelines outline how experienced
technical personnel initialize an FC4700 storage system. For
explanations and detailed initialization instructions, refer to
Chapter 3 in the FC4700 Rackmount Model Hardware Reference.
Service Laptop Setup
1. Connect the service laptop to the serial port on SP-A with the
null modem cable.
2. Make sure Dial-Up Networking between 2 PCs is installed
and set up on the service laptop.
3. Set up Dial-Up Networking.
4. Modify the laptop’s TCP/IP network settings to use DHCP.
