Detailed steps - AFF 900
This article gives detailed step-by-step instructions for installing a typical NetApp system.
Use this article if you want more detailed installation instructions.
Step 1: Prepare for installation
To install your system, you need to create an account on the NetApp Support Site, register your system, and
get license keys. You also need to inventory the appropriate number and type of cables for your system and
collect specific network information.
Before you begin
You need to have access to the NetApp Hardware Universe for information about site
requirements as well as additional information on your configured system.
You might also want to have access to the ONTAP 9 Release Notes for your version of ONTAP for more
information about this system.
You need to provide the following at your site:
•Rack space for the storage system
•Phillips #2 screwdriver
•Additional networking cables to connect your system to your network switch and laptop or console with a
Web browser
Steps
1. Unpack the contents of all boxes.
2. Record the system serial number from the controllers.
3. Inventory and make a note of the number and types of cables you received.
The following table identifies the types of cables you might receive. If you receive a cable not listed in the
table, see the Hardware Universe to locate the cable and identify its use.

4. Review the ONTAP Configuration Guide and collect the required information listed in that guide.
Step 2: Install the hardware
You need to install your system in a 4-post rack or NetApp system cabinet, as applicable.
1. Install the rail kits, as needed.
2. Install and secure your system using the instructions included with the rail kit.
3
You need to be aware of the safety concerns associated with the weight of the system.
3. Attach cable management devices (as shown).
4. Place the bezel on the front of the system.
Step 3: Cable controllers to your network
You can cable the controllers to your network by using the two-node switchless cluster
method or by using the cluster interconnect network.
Option 1: Two-node switchless cluster
Management network, data network, and management ports on the controllers are
connected to switches. The cluster interconnect ports are cabled on both controllers.
Before you begin
You must have contacted your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the
switches.
Be sure to check the direction of the cable pull-tabs when inserting the cables in the ports. Cable pull-tabs are
up for all networking module ports.

As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove
it, turn it around and try again.
1. Use the animation or illustration to complete the cabling between the controllers and to the switches:

Step Perform on each controller
Cable cluster interconnect ports:
•Slot A4 and B4 (e4a)
•Slot A8 and B8 (e8a)
Cable controller management (wrench) ports.

Step Perform on each controller
Cable 25 GbE network switches:
Ports in slot A3 and B3 (e3a and e3c) and slot A9
and B9 (e9a and e9c) to the 25 GbE network
switches.
40GbE host network switches:
Cable host‐side b ports in slot A4 and B4 (e4b) and
slot A8 and B8 (e8b) to the host switch.
Cable 32 Gb FC connections:
Cable ports in slot A5 and B5 (5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d)
and slot A7 and B7 (7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d) to the 32
Gb FC network switches.
2. To cable your storage, see Step 4: Cable controllers to drive shelves.
Option 2: Switched cluster
Management network, data network, and management ports on the controllers are
connected to switches. The cluster interconnect and HA ports are cabled on to the
cluster/HA switch.
Before you begin
You must have contacted your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the
switches.
Be sure to check the direction of the cable pull-tabs when inserting the cables in the ports. Cable pull-tabs are
up for all networking module ports.
As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove
it, turn it around and try again.

slot A8 and B8 (e8b) to the host switch.
Cable 32 Gb FC connecions:
Cable ports in slot A5 and B5 (5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d)
and slot A7 and B7 (7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d) to the 32
Gb FC network switches.
2. To cable your storage, see Step 4: Cable controllers to drive shelves.
Step 4: Cable controllers to drive shelves
Option 1: Cable the controllers to a single NS224 drive shelf in AFF A900
You must cable each controller to the NSM modules on the NS224 drive shelf on an AFF
A900 system.
Before you begin
•Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation. The cable pull-tab
for the storage modules are up, while the pull tabs on the shelves are down.
