Dell EqualLogic FS7600 Installation and Setup Guide Preface

1 Before You Begin

Proper planning and adherence to requirements help ensure a successful installation. Before you begin the

installation, review the steps for getting started and perform all the preliminary tasks.

Introduction to the EqualLogic FS7600

The Dell™ EqualLogic® FS Series NAS appliances add Network Attached Storage (NAS) capability to the

EqualLogic product line to provide a high-performance, scalable unified storage platform. EqualLogic FS Series

appliances are powered by the Dell Fluid File System (FluidFS), Dell’s high-performance, clustered, and

network-accessible file system.

A PS Series group provides iSCSI-accessible block storage. With the latest version of the PS Series firmware

and the addition of a Dell EqualLogic FS7600 NAS appliance, the same PS Series group can provide block

storage and support for Network Attached Storage.

The EqualLogic FS7600 NAS appliance consists of two 1Gb controllers with battery backup, and two power

supplies in one 2U chassis.

• An EqualLogic FS7600 requires a PS Series group running the PS Series firmware version 6.0 or

later. For information on updating your PS Series group to the latest firmware version, see the

Release Notes and the Updating Storage Array Firmware document on the customer support

website.

A NAS cluster can support multiple, scalable NAS containers. In each container, you can create multiple CIFS

shares and NFS exports. Clients with the correct credentials can then access the shares and exports through the

NAS client VIP addresses.

The NAS cluster network configuration requires a client network and a SAN/internal network.

For security reasons, the internal network is usually a private network, and the client network is separate from

the SAN and internal network. See Network Configuration Overview on page 17.

Figure 1 and Table 1 describe the NAS cluster hardware configuration.

page 29.
After getting started, see What to Do Next on page 33.
Preinstallation Tasks
Before installing the hardware:
•  Read the installation safety precautions. See Safety Recommendations on page 3.
•  Learn how to protect sensitive hardware. See Hardware Protection on page 4.
•  Make sure the installation meets the environmental requirements. See Environmental Requirements on page 
4.
•  Unpack the shipping box according to the instructions on the setup poster, and make sure the shipping box 
contents are complete. See Shipping Box Contents on page 6.

Dell EqualLogic FS7600 Installation and Setup Guide 1 Before You Begin

• Place the components in a protected area that has adequate airflow and is free of excessive humidity,

flammable gas, and corrosive substances.

• You need at least two people to install the hardware. Use proper lifting and carrying techniques when

unpacking and moving the components.

• Make sure each FS7600 NAS appliance is fully grounded at all times to prevent damage from electrostatic

discharge.

• When handling the FS7600 NAS appliance, use an electrostatic wrist guard or a similar form of protection.

See Hardware Protection on page 4.

• Hold the appliance level with the rack when you install it.

Hardware Protection

When not installed in a rack, an FS7600 NAS appliance must be in its original packaging or placed on a sturdy

surface that is protected from electrostatic discharge.

When handling an FS7600 NAS appliance, make sure you use an electrostatic wrist strap or a similar form of

protection.

Using an Electrostatic Wrist Strap

You must use an electrostatic wrist strap to protect sensitive hardware from electrostatic discharge.

1. Connect the steel snap on the coiled cord to the stud on the elastic band. See Figure 2.

Figure 2: Using an Electrostatic Wrist Strap

2. Fit the band tightly around your wrist.

3. Connect the banana plug to ground, or attach the plug to the alligator clip and connect the clip to a grounded

device such as an ESD mat or the metal frame of a grounded piece of equipment.

Environmental Requirements

The location of the NAS appliance must meet the following environmental requirements:

• Only operate an enclosure from a power source with a voltage range of 90 to 264 VAC.

• Make sure each power source has sufficient electrical overload protection.
