Welcome

The system you are about to install comes factory pre-loaded with EMC® Celerra® Network Server

software (DART) and CLARiiON® storage array software (FLARE®).

Software upgrade

If you bought a software maintenance contract, you are entitled to software upgrades only after the

installation, Celerra Startup Assistant (CSA), and registration have successfully completed.

Site preparation

Complete the site preparation by verifying the following activities before instal lation:

• Network connections

• Power requirements

• Rack space requirements

Default IP addresses

The system components communicate with each other using a private Internet Protocol (IP) network.

By default, this network uses the IP addresses listed in the following table.

If your existing IP network uses addresses on these subnets, you are required to change the private

network addresses of your Celerra Network Server to different subnets before the installation.

Step 4. Register with the

service provider.

Implementation

Step 3. Install using the

Celerra Startup Assistant.

Step 2. Assemble and cable

the Celerra NS-120 on site.

Step 1. Order the Celerra NS-120

and prepare the site.

Installation

CNS-001477

Step 5. Configure for production.

Installation overview steps

For more information, refer to Celerra Tools on http://Powerlink.EMC.com

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.

Unpacking the Celerra NS-120 system

If your Celerra NS-120 system was purchased and shipped in an EMC 40 Unit cabinet

(70 in. in height, 1 unit = 1.75 in.), start on page 15 of this document and conﬁ rm that the cables are

installed correctly and securely; otherwise start unpacking your Celerra NS-120 system from the

disposable mini-rack shipping container.

For more information, refer to Celerra Tools on http://Powerlink.EMC.com

CNS-001483

Note: The table represents components that are shipped with Celerra’s disposable mini-rack.

If additional accessory boxes are necessary, they will be shipped separately.

2. Remove the components as you remove the

screws. Carefully set aside each component

as it is removed from the mini-rack shipping

container.

Caution: Two people are required to remove the components. Only remove screws holding

the components in place at this time. Do not remove the screws holding the mini-rack rails in

place; this may cause damage to the components. Only remove one component at a time.

3. The reusable ganged rails

remain in the mini-rack shipping

container at this time.

1. Using a

Phillips-head screwdriver, remove only 7 screws per side. Keep the removed screws

to install the components in the rack.

Powering the EMC Celerra NS-120 system

Power Up procedure for single SPS system.

Note: Verify that the cabinet circuit breakers are in the ON position. If you are installing the NS-120 into

an existing cabinet that contains other components, do not turn off the cabinet circuit breakers. Ensure

that the switch for SPS A is turned OFF.

Connect the power cables as follows:

A yellow circle with a number indicates the power cable number.

1. Connect power supply A from the ﬁ rst disk-array enclosure (DAE) power to

standby power supply (SPS) A .

2. Connect power supply B from the ﬁ rst DAE power to the left PDP.

3. Connect storage processor (SP) power cable A to SPS A.

4. Connect SPS A to the right PDP.

Turn on the SPS A switch.

5. Connect SP B power cable to the left PDP.

Wait for the amber fault LED on each SP to turn off (approximately 3 to 4 minutes).

6. Connect the blade enclosure power cables.

7. Connect the Control Station to the left PDP.

Wait for the control station to power up; this may take 5 to 10 minutes.

Note: If the amber LEDs on the front or back of the storage system remain on for more than 10

minutes, make sure that the system is properly cabled.
