¹ 1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes

² Usable storage capacity for installed Array or Expansion modules can be upgraded at any time after purchase in

increments of 34 TB, up to a total of 68 TB per module. Storage capacity upgrades are enabled simply by adding a

license key. To purchase a storage capacity upgrade license, contact your Quantum sales representative. After you

obtain the storage capacity license, refer to the section “Adding a License Key” in the DXi6900 User’s Guide for

instructions on completing the capacity upgrade.

³ Usable space is presented as a decimal (1000) value (TB or Terrabyte) in the DXi GUI. Backup applications may report

the binary (1024) value (TiB or Tebibye) but incorrectly label it as "TB". For example, 272 TB will be seen in the DXi

GUI; however a backup application may report 247.38 TB. 247.38 "tebibyte (TiB) = 271.99718647923 "terabyte

(TB)"

Choosing a Location

Quantum DXi6900-S Installation Guide 3

Choosing a Location

Quantum recommends installing the system in a controlled or restricted area to prevent access by untrained

personnel. In addition, Quantum recommends that system installation be performed only by qualified IT

personnel.

When choosing an installation site for the DXi6900-S system, consider the following requirements:

lInstallation Requirements below

lRack Space Requirements below

lEnvironmental Conditions below

Installation Requirements

Review the DXi6900-S Site Planning Guide to ensure that your site meets the installation requirements for

the DXi6900-S.

Rack Space Requirements

Environmental Conditions

The installation site must have the following environmental conditions:

lHumidity: 20% to 80% (non-condensing) with a maximum humidity gradient of 10% per hour

lTemperature: 10° to 35°C (50° to 95°F) with a maximum temperature gradient of 10°C per hour

lAltitude: –16m to 3048 m (–50 to 10,000 ft)

Preparing for the Installation

Quantum DXi6900-S Installation Guide 4

These environmental conditions apply when the DXi6900-S system is in operation. For additional

specifications, refer to the DXi6900-S Site Planning Guide.

Preparing for the Installation

Before you begin the installation procedure, make the preparations described in the following sections:

lNecessary Tools below

lDXi Software Requirements below

lTaking ESD Precautions below

Necessary Tools

The following tools are required for unpacking and installing the DXi6900-S system:

l#2 Phillips screwdriver

lSmall flat head screwdriver

lNotebook computer and Ethernet cable (for initial system configuration)

DXi Software Requirements

To successfully complete the DXi6900-S system installation, the latest version of DXi software is

mandatory. If the DXi will not have Internet connectivity, manually download a copy of the latest DXi

software upgrade file to your Notebook computer before you begin the installation process. The latest

version of DXi6900-S software is available at http://www.quantum.com/DXi6900docs.

Taking ESD Precautions

Some components within the DXi6900-S system contain static-sensitive parts. To avoid damaging these

parts while performing installation procedures, always observe the following precautions:

lKeep the DXi6900-S system turned off during all installation procedures.

lKeep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until ready for installation.

lDo not place static-sensitive parts on a metal surface. Place them inside their protective shipping bag or

on an antistatic mat.

lWear anti-static wrist bands when unpacking and handling the units, and avoid touching connectors and

other components.

Note: Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have lower relative humidity and are more

likely to produce static electricity.

DXi6900-S Installation Overview

Quantum DXi6900-S Installation Guide 5

DXi6900-S Installation Overview

Depending on the configuration, the DXi6900-S system components ship in one or more boxes. Each box

includes a label that notes the number of the box and the total number of boxes in the shipment (for example,

box 1 of 3). MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ALL BOXES IN THE SHIPMENT BEFORE YOU BEGIN

THE INSTALLATION.

Table 1 on the next page provides an overview of the installation process for each DXi6900-S configuration.

Locate your configuration in the table to see the components you need to install and the procedures to

follow. YOU MUST INSTALL ALL NODE COMPONENTS, INSTALL THE NODE, ARRAY

MODULES, AND EXPANSION MODULES IN THE RACK, AND CONNECT ALL CABLES BEFORE

FOLLOWING THE POWER UP SEQUENCE.
