Tools and hardware required
Gather the tools and equipment you will need for installation. These might include:
v Region-specific power cords required for the DS5020
v 5/16 (8 mm) hex nut driver
v No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
v Anti-static protection (such as a grounding wrist strap)
v Fibre Channel (FC) and Ethernet interface cables and cable straps
v Rack power jumper cords that are shipped with the DS5020
v SFP modules

Preparing the site
This section lists the floor space requirements and weight information for the
storage subsystem. For information about interface cables and connections, see
Chapter 3, "Cabling the storage subsystem," on page 47.
Floor space: The floor area at the installation site must provide the following
conditions:
Attention:
The mounting rails, mounting hardware, and line jumper cords
might be packed beneath the DS5020 in the shipping box. To remove these
items from the shipping box without first removing the DS5020, open the two
long sides of the shipping box. Then open and fold flat the two short sides of
the shipping box. This enables you to access the mounting rails, mounting
hardware, and line jumper cords without first removing the DS5020 from the
shipping box.
After you open the DS5020 shipping container and remove the mounting rails,
mounting hardware, and line jumper cords, check the remaining contents (see
"Inventory checklist" on page 4) without removing the DS5020 from the shipping
box. If any items are missing, contact your IBM reseller or representatives
before proceeding.
Depending on the DS5020 configuration you order, your DS5020 will ship with
either the Microsoft Windows host software attachment kit or with your choice of
host software kits (Windows, AIX, Linux, Netware, SUN Solaris, HP-UX, Linux
on POWER, or VMware). The host software kit grants you permission to attach
host servers using the applicable operating system to the DS5020.
The kit includes a DS Storage Manager DVD that has the applicable IBM DS
Storage Manager host software. If you order more than one host software kit,
the additional kits might also be shipped in the DS5020 shipping box.
The DVD also includes the DS5020 storage subsystem controller firmware. For
the latest controller firmware, check the IBM support Web site for IBM System
Storage products:
http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/disk
software or DS5020 controller firmware packages for any updated information
about hardware, software, or firmware products. See "Finding DS5020 and
DS4000-family readme files" on page xxv to learn how to access the DS5020
and DS4000-family readme files on the Web.
