Setting up your system

  • For initial setup when the enclosure is powered off, perform the following steps:
    1. Install the Compute Sleds, Storage Sleds, and SAS IOM modules.
    2. Power on the enclosure.
      NOTE The system is powered on and the initialization of first SAS IOMs, Storage Sleds, and then the Compute Sleds occurs.
    3. Log in to the OpenManage Enterprise-Modular user interface to assign the Storage Sleds to the compute sled slots. For more information, see the OpenManage Enterprise-Modular User's Guide at www.dell.com/openmanagemanuals > Chassis Management Controllers.
  • For initial setup during System Maintenance, when the enclosure is already powered on, perform the following steps:
    1. Power off the compute sleds to which the Storage Sled is to be assigned.
    2. Install the Storage Sled.
    3. Using the systems management software, assign Storage Sled to the Compute Sleds. For more information, see the OpenManage Enterprise-Modular User's Guide at www.dell.com/openmanagemanuals > Chassis Management Controllers.
