Installing your VSP E990 storage system
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform E990 storage systems are designed for self-installation, so you can install and set up
your storage system for the first time without assistance from a Hitachi Vantara representative.
Make sure your data center meets all site preparation requirements before you install the storage system. If you are not
using a Hitachi Universal Rack make sure the electrical specifications of your rack meet the power requirements of the
storage system.
Step 1: Unpack the storage system
Procedure
1. Inspect all materials for signs of damage. If you see damage, discontinue the installation and contact your Hitachi
Vantara representative.
2. Loosen the band around the cartons and open all boxes. Remove all packing materials, envelopes, and boxes
from the cartons.
3. Retain all packing materials and cartons in case you need to transport or ship the storage system in the future.
4. Check the items you received against the packing list. If any items are missing or damaged, discontinue the
installation and contact your Hitachi Vantara representative.
5. Check the labels of each controller and drive box and verify the location of each component on the rack layout
diagram.
6. Place the keys for the front bezel in a safe place. You will need them to attach the bezel to the front of the
controllers.
Step 2: Verify component location in the rack
The controller and drive boxes for the VSP E990 are shipped fully configured and must be installed in the rack at the
specific location designated by the rack layout.
Each pre-configured component is shipped with two identification labels: one attached to the shipping box, the other
attached to the component itself. The labels include a unit number that corresponds to a location on the rack layout.
An example rack layout is shown in the following figure:

Mount the controller into the Hitachi Universal Rack or into a 4-post EIA 310-D compliant 19-inch rack with square
mounting holes and rear-facing power distribution units (PDUs).
For information about installing the controller in a third-party rack, see the documentation for that rack.
NoteThe rail kit comes with pins that will fit racks with square or circular shaped holes. Use the correct pin type for your
rack.
Number Item
1 Pin for square holes
2 Pin for round holes
Before you begin
• Make sure the rack is secure and cannot fall over.
• Make sure the rack has at least two PDUs installed.
• Verify that all power cables are removed from the AC power receptacles on the rear of the controller.
• Install the rack stabilizers before mounting the storage system in the rack.

the position holes on the rack.
Procedure
1. Pull down the clips on the front and rear of the rail.
2. Fit the positioning pins into the position holes on the right side of the rack.
3. Replace the clips to the upright position to hold the rail in place.

1. Using the cabling diagram, connect each drive box to the controller using either iSCSI or fibre channel cables
depending on the connectors on the controller.
2. Route cables for each drive box through the loop cable tie.
Number Item
1 Cable tie
2 Cable
Step 6: Connect the storage system to power
Power for the storage system is provided through two power supplies, one per controller. The input voltage is auto-
adjusting for 200-240 (-11%) VAC, 50-60 Hz power connections.
For best practice, establish power redundancy by routing each power supply to independent PDUs and then routing the
PDUs to separate external power sources on different branch circuits. This arrangement enables the storage system to
continue operating if AC power is lost to one power supply.
NoteMultiple outlets in a PDU or power strip do not constitute an independent electrical source.
Procedure
1. Confirm that all power sources are off.
2. Connect an AC power cable to the power receptacle on the rear of each controller.
3. Route the power cables from each controller to separate PDUs, and then use the pre-installed tie wraps at each
controller power receptacle to secure the power cables.
4. Connect the PDUs to separate external power sources on different branch circuits.
NoteTo prevent the storage system from being turned off by accident, make sure the external power sources are
not controlled by a wall switch.
