how to install iStarUSA D Storm D-410-DE6 System Cabinet

Follow these steps to install the iStarUSA D Storm D-410-DE6 System Cabinet in your data center rack and configure it for immediate operation:

• Prepare your rack and cabinet: Verify rack compatibility, align the cabinet with mounting rails, and ensure a secure, level installation on the rack structure. Confirm the rack has adequate clearance for cable routing and airflow.
• Mount the chassis in the rack: Use the appropriate screws to secure the D-410-DE6 to the rack rails at the top and bottom. Ensure the unit sits squarely and is firmly fastened to support added components and weight.
• Select and install drive bays: If using the BPN-DE trayless storage options, install the drive sleds and slide the drives into the bays. Connect the drives using the appropriate data and power cables, ensuring cables are neatly managed to preserve airflow.
• Install expansion cards: Insert up to seven full-length, full-height PCIe add-on cards into the available slots. Secure each card with a screw and ensure proper seating to avoid misalignment during operation.
• Power, cabling, and post-install checks: Connect the power supply (or power distribution unit) and route data cables (SAS/SATA, NVMe, NICs, etc.) to each device. Power on the system, verify drive recognition, and enter the system BIOS/RAID controller configuration to establish your storage topology and any required RAID levels.
