Tohelp you identify matched pairs, check the labels on the back of each SymantecStorage Shelf. Each unit has two labels that identify the serial numbers ofthe matched pair.SAS In portsSASInSASOutSASInSASOutPower switchesAC power jacksConnect the other ends of the SAS cables to the available expansion cardports on the NetBackup 5220 appliance.Warning: Once these connections are made, the storage expansion unitbecomes an electrically integral part of the appliance. Any disconnection ofthese cables requires that you contact Symantec Technical Support.6Connect both power cables to the appliance, then plug in the other ends tothe AC power source.For systems with a storage expansion unit, connect the appropriate powercables to the unit and plug the other ends into the AC power source.7This step describes the sequence to turn on all units. If your system includesa storage expansion unit, the sequence for turning on the equipment is criticalto ensure correct communication.The following describes the order in which to turn on the units inconfigurations with or without storage expansion units: For the systems that consist only of appliance servers, turn on allappliances. The sequence is not critical.
Hardware installationConnecting electrical and communications cables to NetBackup appliances For the systems that include storage expansion units: Turn on all storage expansion units and wait for each unit to boot upcompletely.When all of the lights on the units stop blinking and are on steady, theboot up is complete. Turn on all appliances.The power switches on the 5200 server and the storage expansion unit arelocated on the rear panel.The power switch on the 5220 server is located on the front panel.8Turn on the laptop computer.The appliance is now ready for configuration.See “About appliance configuration guidelines” on page 15.13
