these manuals/notes with your system; the most current versions of

FC4700 documentation are available on the EMC PowerLink web

site, http://powerlink.emc.com. Once logged in to PowerLink,

select Services, then Document Library and CLARiiON for lists

and .pdf copies of relevant manuals, notes, and articles.

The If You Need Help section that starts on page 19 of this guide lists and

describes additional resources you might need to solve typical installation and

operating problems.

Parts Checklist for Basic Configuration

Before you start, be sure you have the following materials available.

Most required parts were provided with your system, but some are

shipped with particular components and others, like LAN cables,

should be on site already.

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.
