how to install Infortrend EonStor GS 3024B
- Plan your rack deployment and ensure you have a suitable 19-inch rack, power provisioning, and network connectivity. If your configuration includes redundant power supplies, install the second power supply to enable high availability from first power-on.
- Mount the GS 3024B in the rack and connect the chassis to your data network, management network, and storage fabric. Attach any expansion units if your capacity or performance requirements exceed the base chassis.
- Power up the system and access the management interface. Perform initial setup to configure network settings (IP, DNS, gateway) and establish baseline security (admin accounts, access controls, and encryption policies if supported).
- Define storage pools and volumes, configure RAID groups, and allocate LUNs for SAN workloads or file shares for NAS workloads. Tune performance settings such as caching, tiering, and QoS to align with your workload profiles.
- Enable cloud gateway and data protection features: set up cloud tiering or replication to public or private clouds, configure snapshots and replication policies, and integrate with backup software to ensure a robust DR strategy.
