Hardware Installation

4 Turn on attached units:

a

Turn on the MD1000 expansion enclosure(s). Wait for the enclosure status LED to light blue.

b

Turn on the MD3000i and wait for the status LED to indicate that the unit is ready:

If the status LEDs light a solid amber, the MD3000i is still coming online.

If the status LEDs are blinking amber, there is an error that can be viewed using the
MD Storage Manager.

If the status LEDs light a solid blue, the MD3000i is ready.

c

After the MD3000i is online and ready, turn on any attached host systems.

5 Using the MD Storage Manager, update all attached MD1000 firmware if it is out of date:

a

Select Support

→ Download Firmware→ Download Environmental (EMM) Card Firmware.

b

Check the Select All check box so that all attached MD1000 enclosures are updated at the same
time (each takes approximately 8 minutes to update).
