Page 11: Installing The System In The Rack
Installing the system in the rack Caution: The weight of this part or unit is between 18 and 32 kg (39.7 and 70.5 lb). It takes 2 persons to safely lift this part or 18-32 kg (39.7-70.5 lbs) unit. (C009) If the N3300 system bezel is attached to the system, carefully remove the front bezel of the N3300 by pulling out on the rectangular openings (marked by blue stripes) on either side of the bezel. - Page 12 s shown in the previous illustration, a t the front of the rack, us four black M5x40 screws (two for each rail) in the H and H holes secure the system unit to the rack. Thread the screws through the system unit bracket, the spacer plate, and the rack frame rail into the threaded rail nuts.
- Page 13 Connecting the N3300 to a network Connect the RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter from the adapter kit to the console port on the system. Connect the serial null modem cable from your console to the DB-9 end of the adapter. Connect your system to the network by plugging the network cable into the networking port, labeled e0a.
- Page 14 Connect the Remote Management port to the network (if applicable). Note: The Remote Management port gives you the capability to remotely manage your system from anywhere within a network connection. See the Data ONTAP System Administration Guide for Remote Management configuration information.
- Page 15 Connecting the N3300 to expansion units IMPORTANT: When using onboard ports to connect to EXN expansion units, onboard ports must be set to initiator mode. See "Configuring for initiator mode" in N3300 and N3600 Hardware and Service Guide for more information SFPs must be used when connecting fiber cables.
- Page 16 To cable a single-node A10, complete the following steps, using the diagram for reference. 5.3.1 Cable the N3300 port 0a to the first expansion unit module A ESH2/ESH4 or AT-FCX In port. 5.3.2 Cable the N3300 port 0b to the first expansion unit module B ESH2/ESH4 or AT-FCX In port.
- Page 17 To cable the Channel A paths in a dual-node A20 (cluster), complete the following steps, using the diagram for reference. The numbers in the diagram correspond to the step numbers below. 5.4.1 Cable the N3300 CM-A port 0a to the first expansion unit module A ESH2/ESH4 or AT-FCX In port.
- Page 18 For any additional expansion units in a loop, connect the module A Out port to the next expansion unit's module A In port. Repeat for module B. Note: Both ESH2/ESH4 and the AT-FCX modules are self- terminating. The ESH2/ESH4 does not have a terminate switch. If you have ordered the “Dual-Path FC Cabling”...
- Page 19 Note: This step is optional. You must have ordered the "Dual-Path FC Cabling" feature and/or additional fiber cables and SFP GBICs to implement this feature. Dual-path FC cabling only applies to dual-node clustered A20 models. The purpose of dual-path FC cabling is to provide each node in a dual- node cluster with redundant FC paths (Loop A and Loop B) to each stack of expansion units.

Page 20: Installing The Power Cables
Installing the power cables Make sure all power supply switches on the N3300 and any attached expansion units(s) are in the Off position. Connect the power cords to all power supply 1 and power supply 2 power receptacles for all system units that are being installed using power cord retainer clips as shown below. - Page 21 Grounding the N3300 Note: The N3300 has no requirement or provision for grounding. For proper grounding of expansion units, refer to the Installation and Setup Instructions for the expansion unit.

- Page 23 Check the licenses on the node(s) by entering the following command: license Add any missing licenses by entering the following command for each missing license: license add xxxx xxxx where is the license code for the product. Note: Clustering must be licensed on both nodes in a dual-node N3300. Continue with post-setup configuration as needed.
