Installation overview steps Installation steps:. Review and complete the Celerra worksheet, pages 3-3, and verify that the site is properly prepared for the installation of your Celerra NS-. About minutes.. If your Celerra NS- is to be installed in a customer-supplied rack, use this document to unpack the system from the mini-rack shipping container, remove the reusable rails, and install the system in your available rack. About 4 minutes. Note: If your Celerra NS- system arrived at your site in a pre-installed cabinet and is previously cabled, verify the cabling before you begin the use of your system. Cable your system according to the instructions and illustrations contained in this document. Ensure that all of your cables are seated securely. About 45 minutes. 3. When you install your Celerra NS-, use the Celerra Startup Assistant (CSA) to pre-configure your system. The latest version of the CSA can be downloaded from the Celerra Tools section on Powerlink.. The CSA is also on the Celerra Applications & Tools CD. About 5 minutes. 4. Register your system with the service provider. If you do not register your system now, using the Celerra Startup Assistant, your request for support from your service provider will be delayed. You can also register your Celerra NS- by downloading the Registration Wizard on Powerlink. About 5 minutes. Implementation step: 5. After you have registered your Celerra NS- system, you must confi gure the system for production. You can use the Provisioning Wizard in the CSA, one of the several pre-packaged implementation confi gurations based on common usages, or your own implementation using Celerra Manager to confi gure your system. At the end of each one of these confi gurations, your system will be ready for production. Note: If your Celerra NS- system has the Fibre Channel-enabled option use Navisphere Manager to provision storage for use by other Hosts. 5
