Installation steps:
1. Review and complete the Celerra worksheet, pages 31-32, and verify that the site is
properly prepared for the installation of your Celerra NS-120.
About 20 minutes.
2. If your Celerra NS-120 is to be installed in a customer-supplied rack, use this document to unpack
the system from the mini-rack shipping container, remove the reusable rails, and install the system
in your available rack.
About 40 minutes.
Note: If your Celerra NS-120 system arrived at your site in a pre-installed cabinet and is
previously cabled, verify the cabling before you begin the use of your system.
Cable your system according to the instructions and illustrations contained in this document.
Ensure that all of your cables are seated securely.
About 45 minutes.
3. When you install your Celerra NS-120, use the Celerra Startup Assistant (CSA) to pre-confi gure
your system. The latest version of the CSA can be downloaded from the Celerra Tools section on
Powerlink®. The CSA is also on the Celerra Applications & Tools CD.
About 15 minutes.
4. Register your system with the service provider. If you do not register your system now, using the
Celerra Startup Assistant, your request for support from your service provider will be delayed.
You can also register your Celerra NS-120 on Powerlink.
About 5 minutes.
Implementation step:
5. After you have registered your Celerra NS-120 system, you must confi gure the system for
production. You can use the Provisioning Wizard in the CSA, one of the several pre-packaged
implementation confi gurations based on common usages, or your own implementation using
Celerra Manager to confi gure your system. At the end of each one of these confi gurations,
your system will be ready for production.
Note: If your Celerra NS-120 system has the Fibre Channel-enabled option, use
Navisphere® Manager to provision storage for use by other Hosts.
