Info
This notice clarifies installation improvements introduced with the currently shipping HPE StoreOnce 3620, 3640, 5200, 5250, and 5650 Systems.
These systems are designed to be simpler to install and configure, compared to the previous generations of HPE StoreOnce systems. For example:
These systems are pre-configured and fully system-tested in manufacturing
They ship with all capacity upgrades and optional hardware cards already installed, licensed, and available for use
They ship with storage already configured, including functional RAID sets, file systems, and capacity expansions, all licensed and ready for use
The systems auto-configure themselves at startup. Minimal manual intervention is required.
The HPE StoreOnce User interface and status reporting are designed for maximum ease of use and clarity.
Storage enclosures are labeled to show their JBOD number, the server that they attach to, and all cables are labeled to avoid confusion.
If it is necessary to remove any disk drive hardware, hard disk labeling kits make it easier to remove and return hard disks to their proper slots during installation or maintenance procedures.
NOTE
: Because the systems are pre-configured, the HPE StoreOnce 3620, 3640, 5200, 5250, and 5650 systems must be installed exactly as described in the
HPE StoreOnce 3620, 3640, 5200, 5250, and 5650 Systems Installation Guide
.
Storage enclosures must be connected to the same server they were configured to, using the supplied cables.
Hard disks are pre-configured and must remain in or be returned to the same disk slots they arrived in.
You can remove the hard disks to make the enclosures lighter and easier to handle, however:
All hard disks must be returned to their original slots
before
the system is powered on.
NOTE
: Unless each disk is in its proper location, the system will fail to start.
Label the disks with the provided label kits
before
removing them from the enclosure for ease of installation and maintenance.
