If the list of parts on your packing slip does not match the items you received, or any items appear damaged, immediately notify your carrier agent and the supplier who prepared your shipment.

5. Carefully examine the cables provided in the package.

If any cable appears to be damaged, contact the Technical Service department for an immediate replacement.

6. Check the list of Section 3.4, Customer-Provided Cables.

These are required to complete your installation.

Caution - You must purchase or provide 320M-compliant SCSI cables for connecting the Sun StorEdge 3320 SCSI array to host servers.

3.3 Field-Replaceable Units

Check that you received all field-replaceable units (FRUs) ordered with your Sun StorEdge 3320 SCSI array. For additional FRUs, consult your sales representative. For instructions on how to install or replace FRUs, review the following manuals located on the product web site:

Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Rack Installation Guide for 2U Arrays

Sun StorEdge 3000 Family FRU Installation Guide

Caution - You can mix capacity in the same chassis, but not spindle speed revolutions per minute (RPM) on the same SCSI bus. For instance, you can use 36-Gbyte and 73-Gbyte drives with no performance problems if both are 10K RPM drives. Violating this configuration guideline leads to poor performance.

For a list of the FRU part numbers, refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family FRU Installation Guide.

3.4 Customer-Provided Cables

Customers must provide one Ultra 320 SCSI cable per host to connect a host to a RAID array, expansion unit or JBOD; up to two host cables might be needed per array. To obtain qualified cables, consult your Sun sales representative.

3.5 Mounting Your Array in a Rack or Cabinet

Refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Rack Installation Guide for 2U Arrays for instructions on how to install and prepare a rack or cabinet for mounting your array.
