  • Page 21: Installing Identification Labels

    Installing identification labels The EXP3000 comes with one sheet of 10 labels that you can use for the EXP3000 identification label. To install the EXP3000 identification label, complete the following steps: 1. Choose the label for your configuration. 2. Verify the identification setting of the EXP3000 with your RAID controller management software.

  • Page 22: Cabling Information

    The ESM in the EXP3000 has two 26-pin mini-SAS connectors. The SAS connectors are labeled In (↑) and Out (↓). If your RAID controller supports more than one EXP3000 per physical port, you can connect two or more EXP3000s by “chaining” them together.

  • Page 23: System-Management Software Support

    System-management software support The EXP3000 provides software alert functions through the system-management functions provided by the management software that comes with your RAID controller. The following alerts are supported: v Hard disk drive disabled v Power-supply failure v Fan failure v EXP3000 exceeds normal operating temperature Chapter 2.

    2. Check the system documentation for all the hardware devices that you want to turn on and determine the proper power-on sequence. Note: Be sure to turn on the EXP3000 before or at the same time as you turn on the device with the RAID controller.

  • Page 30: Turning Off The Exp3000

    Except in an emergency situation, never turn off the power if any fault LEDs are lit on the EXP3000. Correct the fault before you attempt to turn off the power, using the proper troubleshooting or servicing procedure. This ensures that the EXP3000 turns on correctly later.
