The following illustration shows an example of a multiple-host, multiple-port, and multiple-fabric (Fibre
Channel and SAS) configuration
Note: The DCS3700 does not support a multiple-fabric (Fibre Channel and SAS) configuration where
both fibre channel and SAS host adapter are located in the same host system.
Cabling the power supply
Complete the following steps to connect the power supply cable.
Attention: The DCS3700 requires 200-240V AC power. Make sure that it is connected only to the correct
AC supply voltage. If there are multiple DCS3700 units to be connected, check the AC source and the
rack Power Distribution Unit current ratings to make sure that they are sufficient to support the DCS3700
operating and surge current requirements.
1. Using the strap that comes off the power supply, tie the power supply cord to the strap to provide
strain relief and to prevent the power cord from accidently being unplugged.
2. Connect the power cable to the power supply.
3. Continue with “Powering on the DCS3700” on page 68 for the initial startup of the storage expansion
enclosure.
Relocating the DCS3700
Before you move an DCS3700 with populated hard drive drawers, either by itself or as part of the rack
that it is mounted in, you must obtain a rack relocation kit. Follow the instructions provided with the
relocation kit to avoid potential damage to the DCS3700:
v You must remove the drives from the DCS3700 and place them in the boxes that come with the
relocating kit.
v You must label the drives using the labels that come with the relocating kit.
v A lift tool must be used if the DCS3700 is going to be removed from the rack.
