The controller and drive boxes for the VSP E1090 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:





Item Description
RACK# Which rack the component belongs to.
UNIT# The rack unit that corresponds to the rack layout.
CBL# Controller number
DBN# Drive box number
CBL Storage system model for the controller
DBN Storage system model for the drive box
U Location The rack unit where the component must be installed.
SYSTEM Serial # The serial number assigned to the storage system.
SYSTEM COO The region or location where the storage system is installed.
  1. Find the component label on the shipping box and verify it matches the label on the component included in the box.
    Repeat step for each component.
  2. Place each component in descending order by Unit# and match the Unit# to the corresponding place on the rack layout.
  3. Match the U Location on the label with the Unit Number on the physical rack.
